==Blurb==

Now that they have finally gaining Larvitar's trust, the group head towards the Pokémon Reserve on Mt. Silver, as led by Larvitar. While crossing the bridge onto the reserve, the group does not realize they are being watched by three poachers, Braggo, Blurt, and Chico, who are inside a submerged submarine!

Ash, Misty and Brock come across a roar in the distance, which belongs to a Tyranitar. Brock notices its scar, which matches the scar from Larvitar's dream, proving that this is indeed its mother. When Ash nudges Larvitar over to meet its mother, Tyranitar misinterprets the gesture and fires a Hyper Beam right at them! It believes Ash, Brock, and Misty are the original poachers, and chases after them in a fit of rage; the problem is enhanced by Larvitar, as it refuses to leave Ash behind! Larvitar's Screech snaps Tyranitar out of it, as it realizes that Larvitar is its baby, and that Ash, Brock, and Misty pose no threat. The threat arrives soon after, as the poachers return, trying to capture Tyranitar by trapping it in a Pokébag! Ash recognizes the poachers from Larvitar's dream, and immediately tries to get Tyranitar back.

When the poachers hear Ranger Mason approaching, they trap Ash in one of their bags and head off. Brock calls out Crobat to follow them, while charming up Ranger Mason. Mason informs them that they took the wrong road, as had they have not crossed the bridge, they would have made it right to the Preservation Center. As they work on finding the poachers, Team Rocket beats them to it and ask Braggo if they can join them. Braggo accepts, giving Jessie and James the packing machine in order to draw attention elsewhere, leaving an opportunity to escape with Tyranitar.

Crobat reports back to Brock, giving Ash and crew an idea of where the poachers are hiding, but come across Team Rocket instead. Pikachu and Croconaw work together to redirect their attack, blasting Team Rocket off, while the poachers activate their poaching machine by remote to grab Croconaw and Pikachu! Larvitar uses its Screech to awaken Tyranitar, who uses its Hyper Beam to break their remote control. The bags break, freeing Tyranitar and the others, while a combined attack from Tyranitar and Larvitar destroy the machine, and free Pikachu and Croconaw.

Ranger Mason thanks Ash and friends for the help catching the poachers, but Ash puts the thanks all on Larvitar's head. Finally reunited with its mother, Larvitar remains at the Reserve, while Ash, Misty, and Brock head towards Silver Town!

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue towards the [[Mt. Silver]] Pokémon Preserve to return {{AP|Larvitar}} to its home, they stop as {{an|Brock}} tries to catch his breath. Meanwhile, {{an|Misty}} marvels at Larvitar's improved confidence as the young Pokémon is happily being carried in Brock's arms. Brock is unable to read his guidebook's map for directions to the Preserve, though Larvitar leaps out of his arms and rushes over to a nearby rope bridge. The group follows, deciding that it's leading them to its birthplace. While everyone is crossing, a periscope rises from the water, watching them. On the other side, Larvitar is cheerier than usual as it guides everyone through a forested area. In the bushes, a mecha is hidden with the same periscope aimed at them. Inside are [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers|three men]], who decide to steal Larvitar after spotting it walking passed.

The group stops walking after hearing some loud noises. The growls continue to get closer and the ground begins to shake, until a huge Pokémon appears in front of them. Ash holds up his [[Pokédex]] and learns that they have encountered a {{p|Tyranitar}}. The group notices a familiar scar on Tyranitar's chest, and realize that this must be the very Tyranitar they saw in [[EP263|Larvitar's dream]]. Brock declares that the Tyranitar must be Larvitar's mother. Tyranitar looks endearingly at her child. Unfortunately, she gets upset when Ash tries to push Larvitar forward and fires a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the group. Brock realizes that she probably thinks they are the poachers. They run away, leaving Larvitar with its mother. Ash looks back and sees Larvitar crying and running behind them, despite Ash telling it to stay. Larvitar ignores the group’s pleas and grabs a hold of {{AP|Pikachu}}’s tail. Tyranitar fires off another Hyper Beam as Ash and his friends continue to flee. Ash eventually drops Larvitar and Tyranitar looks at it curiously. Larvitar lets out a mighty {{m|Screech}}. Tyranitar suddenly realizes that Larvitar is her child and apologizes to Ash and his friends.

Just then, the periscope locks on to Tyranitar. Following Braggo's orders, Chico fires a giant Pokébag, which wraps around Tyranitar and causes her to hit the ground. The mecha rides out and the three men emerge to marvel at their grand catch. The group instantly recognizes them as the poachers from Larvitar's dream. They introduce themselves as Braggo, the leader who always speaks in rhyme and quotes, Chico, the inventor for the group, and Blurt, who calls himself the strong and silent type who always breaks things and talks a lot. They declare that they are the Pokémon Poacher Brothers. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} flies over the area in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] and watches everything through their binoculars. [[Jessie]] remarks that the poacher brothers' routine was unoriginal. [[James]] is discouraged by the fact that the poachers have good equipment, and can make rhymes. Jessie makes a terrible rhyme furthering James’s point. Jessie states that if they can’t beat them, then they will join them, steal their equipment and Pokémon, and leave. {{MTR}} and James agree.

Braggo is pleasantly surprised to learn that Larvitar is the very one they stole when it was just an Egg, and the poacher trio thank Ash for returning it to them. The poachers launch another Pokébag at Larvitar, but Ash jumps in the way and is caught instead. After hearing sirens, the poachers decide that Tyranitar is good enough and drive away. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} to follow them. A few seconds later, a lady rides up on a motorcycle and asks if everything’s okay. Brock rushes up and says that everything is okay now. She says that she’s [[Ranger Mason]] and that the poachers have been bothering them for quite some time. She has her {{DL|Ranger Mason|Pokémon|Croconaw}} get Ash out of the capture bag. Ranger Mason informs the group that they would have reached the Preserve if they had simply stayed on the road. Ash notices that Larvitar is feeling down and he promise that they will get its mother back. Ranger Mason crouches down to assure Larvitar, but this startles it. Misty and Brock inform her that Larvitar takes a while to warm up to people.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is begging to be accepted into the poachers' gang. Braggo and his brothers feel cricks in their necks and suggest the Rocket trio gives them a massage each. Team Rocket's incredible obedience helps them get accepted into the poaching troupe. However, Crobat peeks over the side of the mecha and flies back to inform Brock. Braggo lets Team Rocket use the mecha to capture Larvitar and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Jessie and her teammates are overexcited about their upgrade, but they are unaware that Braggo is using them as cover while he and his brother's make their escape. Tyranitar struggles in her capture bag. Chico laughs, saying that the more she struggles, the tighter the bag will become.

Crobat finds Brock and reports back, and soon after the poachers’ mecha zooms down a hill towards them. Team Rocket pops out and recites their {{motto}}, however Mason and the others are confused. Jessie explains that she and her teammates are now aligned with Braggo, and fires a Pokébag. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Croconaw uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} that sends the bag back at Team Rocket and sends them blasting off. The real poachers, however, are getting away in Team Rocket's balloon. Chico uses a remote control to control the mecha. It grabs Pikachu and Croconaw, and then shoots a bag at the group for good measure. Ash tells Larvitar to use Screech, and the ear-splitting sound distracts the poachers and makes Tyranitar angry. She fires a few Hyper Beams at the bag. Chico presses a button on a remote to electrocute Tyranitar, but despite the pain, she bites through and fires a Hyper Beam at the balloon. As the poachers plummet towards the earth, Chico drops the remote which breaks into pieces after it lands on the ground, freeing the humans from the bag. As Larvitar is reunited with Tyranitar, they see the banged-up poachers jump into their mecha. As the mecha is about to crush everyone, Tyranitar and Larvitar launch a Hyper Beam and {{m|Hidden Power}} respectively, annihilating the mecha. Ash catches Pikachu while Croconaw lands on Brock. Afterwards, Larvitar and Tyranitar hug.

Ranger Mason thanks the group for helping her catch the poacher brothers, who are now tied up together. Ash tells her that Larvitar is the real hero, and she crouches down to thank it. This time Larvitar doesn't seem afraid and smiles back in appreciation. Mason declares that Larvitar has gained more confidence. Brock adds that he has also developed more confidence and grabs a hold of Mason's hands, but Misty drags him away by the ear for his troubles. Later Ranger Mason instructs the group to follow the river road, which will get them directly to {{jo|Silver Town}}. As they farewell Mason, Larvitar and its mother appear to say their goodbyes to the group as well. Meanwhile, Team Rocket remains bundled up together in a bag and can only struggle as they hang precariously from a rope bridge.

==Trivia==
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a reference to {{wp|Saddam Hussein}}'s famous quote about the {{wp|Gulf War}}, regarding it as the "mother of all battles".
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 10: Rock'' of [[Pokémon Elements]].
* This is the last episode where Ash [[release]]s a Pokémon until ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', 605 episodes later.
* [[James]] expresses jealousy that [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers|Braggo]] is able to speak in rhyme, and [[Jessie]] tries unconvincingly to demonstrate her ability to rhyme, despite the fact that {{TRT}} frequently uses rhymes in their {{motto}}.

===Errors===
* In the English dub, {{an|Brock}} once refers to {{p|Tyranitar|Larvitar's mother}} as a male.
* After {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} reports back to {{an|Brock}} and his friends, it disappears for the rest of the episode, as Brock is never seen recalling it back in its {{i|Poké Ball}}. However, he could have done it off screen.
* In one scene, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s voice can be heard, but his mouth does not move.
** In another scene, the opposite is true for {{p|Croconaw}}, as its mouth moves, but its voice can't be heard.
* When the remote breaks into pieces, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are able to break free from the Pokébag. However, Team Rocket, who had also been captured in a Pokébag, is not freed, as is evident from the end of the episode. This error may be somewhat justified by the fact that Team Rocket had already [[Blasting off|blasted off]] to a faraway location before the remote broke and hence they might be out of its range.
* In the {{pmin|Spain|European Spanish}} dub, Braggo can be heard saying "Time to cash in your chips" in English.
** Also, in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, both the Finnish and English voices of Braggo are heard simultaneously during this line. The same error appears in the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub.
** Also, in the Polish dub, the Polish and English voices of Braggo are heard simultaneously during the line "Run today to fight another day."
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, when the Pokémon Poacher Brothers are leaving with Tyranitar before Brock calls out Crobat, the sound of Brock throwing the Poké Ball and it opening can be heard instead of the machine leaving.
** In the {{pmin|Norway|Norwegian}} dub, there is no background sound.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==


Misty and Ash continue to wander the Viridian Forest when they spot a Weedle. As Ash battles it, he's distracted by a boy dressed as a samurai and calling himself (naturally) Samurai. Samurai challenges Ash to a battle, and Ash gets the advantage when his Metapod defends itself against Samurai's Pinsir. Samurai sends out his own Metapod—and a standoff begins.

A swarm of Beedrill interrupts the battle. Ash flees, but leaves his Metapod behind. The Beedrill grab Metapod and take it back to their hive. As Ash sneaks toward the hive to save Metapod, Jessie, James, and Meowth shows up to cause trouble. Ash is able to duck the angry Beedrill, and they instead focus their wrath on Team Rocket.

Metapod is mad at Ash for being abandoned. Has Ash learned his lesson about leaving his friends behind? Will Metapod evolve again? And will Samurai and Ash ever resume their battle?

==Plot==
;Enter The Samurai
As {{ashfr|the group}} continue their way through [[Viridian Forest]], {{an|Misty}} lets out a shrill scream. {{Ash}} turns to find her in a tree because she saw a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, though he makes light of her fear. He soon spots the Pokémon in question, a {{p|Weedle}}, and decides to catch it. He is forced to send out his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} because {{AP|Pikachu}} is asleep. Misty walks off, only to encounter a stranger named [[Samurai]] and his sharp sword. When he asks if she is from [[Pallet Town]], she states that she's not, causing him to leave to continue his search. Misty is baffled as to what kind of grudge the stranger could have against Pallet Town inhabitants, but then she realizes the stranger is after Ash.

Meanwhile, Pidgeotto swoops and defeats Weedle, but, just as Ash is about to toss a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Samurai arrives and asks him if he is from Pallet Town. When Ash affirms it, Samurai draws his sword at him, with Misty barely yelling out a warning to Ash, and challenges Ash to a Pokémon battle. The {{pkmn2|wild}} Weedle [[escape]]s and Ash reprimands Samurai for causing him to lose the Weedle. However, Samurai says that Ash allowed it to escape. The two then begin their [[Pokémon battle]].

;Metapod VS Metapod
Ash uses his exhausted Pidgeotto against Samurai's {{p|Pinsir}}. Pidgeotto uses {{m|Sand Attack}}, but it is defeated by Pinsir's {{m|Tackle}}. Ash then sends out his {{p|Metapod}}, who wins after he {{m|Harden}}s his body to the point where Pinsir's pincers break upon trying to crush him with {{m|Vise Grip}}. Samurai sends out his own Metapod, and the two Metapod continue to use Harden in a battle of willpower for many hours, leaving Misty and Pikachu wondering if the match will ever end.

;A Beedrill Swarm!
After spotting a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm, Samurai [[recall]]s his Pokémon and flees, though Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] for details. A Beedrill kidnaps Ash's Metapod, evading Ash's attempts to recall his Pokémon. Pikachu shocks a Beedrill and Misty grabs Ash to start running, catching up with Samurai. They hide amongst some shrubs, only to encounter a hive of {{p|Kakuna}}. When the Kakuna [[Evolution|evolve]] into more Beedrill, the group flees to Samurai's log cabin.

Samurai rebukes Ash for putting his Metapod in danger, then admits that he lost against three other Trainers from Pallet Town, including {{Gary}}. However, he insists that Ash is a novice. Ash keeps quiet and promises himself that he will find Metapod the next day and look after him better from then on. During the night, he is unable to sleep and can only think about his Metapod.

;Evolving Friendship
Early the next morning, Ash begins his search for Metapod. He sees him lying at the base of a tree, surrounded by many {{p|Kakuna}}, and attempts to sneak forward through the grass towards him without alerting the Beedrill swarm. However, he is interrupted by {{MTR}}, who jumps on the back of his head. A moment later, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear on a cliff overhead, and launch loudly into their {{motto}}, ignoring Ash's warnings that they will alert the Beedrill. The sound awakens the Beedrill, who prepare to dive-bomb Ash and Team Rocket. Ash rolls underneath their attacks and reaches Metapod. Jessie and James attempt to take cover in their cardboard van, but some {{p|Weedle}} have begun to chew through it, and they run instead.

Ash attempts to recall Metapod to his Poké Ball, but he shakes in disagreement. With a Beedrill fast approaching, Ash runs with Metapod in his arms. Seeing a look of sorrow in Metapod's eyes, Ash realizes that he has lost Metapod's trust. Ash attempts to explain what happened, saying that losing Metapod was all Samurai's fault. However, Ash suddenly realizes that he is lying to himself and to Metapod, and admits that losing Metapod was his fault and his alone. Ash is upset upon realizing that it was his carelessness that put his Pokémon's life in danger, and, amid tearful apologies to Metapod, he sincerely promises to stop making excuses and take better care of his Pokémon. As Samurai, Misty, and Pikachu arrive in a protective bug net, Metapod leaps into the path of a Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}} attack, saving Ash. Ash cradles Metapod, thinking he has been badly injured, but he instead begins to glow. The hole in his shell has triggered Metapod's Evolution into {{AP|Butterfree}}. Ash gazes happily at his first fully evolved Pokémon, and even Misty isn't fearful, going so far as to call Ash's Butterfree beautiful.

Another swarm of Beedrill appears, but this time, Ash orders his Butterfree to use {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which puts the bee-like Pokémon, and also Team Rocket, to sleep and allows the group to escape. Samurai applauds Ash for his control over Butterfree so soon after his Evolution. He then shows Ash and Misty the path out of Viridian Forest to [[Pewter City]]. He also tells Ash that he takes back his criticism and refers to himself as a novice. Ash, Pikachu, and Misty continue towards Pewter City to earn Ash's first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]. Team Rocket, meanwhile, is left wrapped up like Kakuna amongst a hive of angry Beedrill.

[[File:Metapod evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod's original Evolution animation]]
* This is the first time the lines "Prepare for trouble! / And make it double!" are included in {{TRT}}'s {{motto}}.
* In this episode, {{p|Metapod}} and {{p|Kakuna}}'s [[Evolution]] processes are depicted as their shells cracking and their evolved forms emerging, leaving behind an empty carapace, similar to real-life insects' emergence from {{wp|pupa}}tion. [[AG142|In]] [[BW124|later]] [[BW130|episodes]], however, Metapod and Kakuna are shown to evolve like any other Pokémon.
* {{Ash}} tries and fails to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{p|Weedle}}; however, he would [[EP161|later]] succeed in catching its [[Casey's Beedrill|final evolved form]], only to give it away shortly thereafter.
** In that episode Ash once again tries and fails to capture a Weedle.
* This episode features the first [[animated series move errors|animated series move error]], as {{p|Pinsir}} cannot legally learn {{m|Tackle}} in the {{pkmn|games}}.
* This episode features the first [[character of the day]], namely [[Samurai]].
* During the Metapod vs. Metapod battle, each side uses Harden in a futile attempt to defeat the other. However, Ash's Metapod should know Tackle as well, since it evolved from a Caterpie.
* When Ash, Misty, and Samurai are settled down for the night and Ash is shown to be awake and worrying about Metapod, "Satoshi", Ash's Japanese name, is written on his sleeping bag.
* Samurai blames Ash for letting the Weedle escape, even though he only failed to catch it due to Samurai himself interrupting his capture attempt.
* This episode was [[Banned episodes|banned]] in {{pmin|South Korea}} due to it featuring a samurai.
* In the {{pmin|Netherlands|Dutch}} and {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} [[dub]]s of the episode, Ash refers to {{Gary}} as "'''Bailey'''" while talking with Samurai. The same error appears in [[Pokémon Artbox stickers|Pokémon Stickers series 1]] by Artbox, possibly indicating a preliminary name for Gary in the dubbing production.
* This episode marks one of the few times a body part of a Pokémon gets clearly broken, being Samurai's Pinsir's pincers and a Beedrill's stinger.
* Ash imagining Samurai's Pinsir splitting his Metapod in half is the first of very few instances of a Pokémon dying on-screen.
* This is the only time when the English dub [[title card]] contains dialogue unrelated to the episode title, with Ash following the [[narrator]]'s opening recap by saying, "And now", before reciting the title.

===Errors===
* During the recap when Caterpie evolves, Ash's eyes are red in color.
* When Samurai first points his sword at Ash, Ash's gloves disappear.
* After Samurai challenges Ash to a match, Pikachu says "Pika?" and his mouth is white instead of the usual pink.
* Right before Ash and Samurai battle, Pikachu says his name but his mouth doesn't move.
* As mentioned above, Samurai's Pinsir uses {{m|Tackle}} in this episode, a move it is [[Animated series move errors|normally incapable of learning]].
* When the two Metapod are battling, the day progresses from morning to evening as shown by their shadows. In the next shot, the sun is still overhead at 90 degrees, which is possible only in afternoon. This is an example of [[animation physics]].
* The hole a Beedrill makes in the door of the cabin disappears in the next shot.
* When Beedrill removes itself the cabin door, some Beedrill's limbs are colored yellow.
* When Ash sets out the next morning to look for Metapod, Meowth kicks Ash in the head and scratches him. Then, Jessie and James are shown on top of the cliff above him. Ash runs off after they finish reciting their motto, during in which Meowth is still next to him. However, when the camera cuts to Jessie and James jumping off the cliff and running after him, Meowth is shown jumping off with them.
* When Ash's Metapod takes the hit from Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}}, the center part on [[Ash's hat]] is colored white instead of red.
* At the end of the episode, Samurai's sword appears smaller than normal.
** Also at the end, in one shot Samurai is standing under trees, but the trees disappear in his close-up.
* In the English dub:
** Many times in this episode, when referring to multiple of a Pokémon, characters [[List of nonstandard species plurals|add "s" on the end of the name]] when the plural of a Pokémon is the same as the singular.
** When Ash, Misty, and Samurai are running away from the Beedrill, Misty's Japanese voice can be heard.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil}}ian dub, when talking with Samurai, Ash refers to Gary as "Scary".

===Changes===
====Dub edits====
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 4
* In the original Japanese version, Ash makes an untranslatable pun. Misty says "{{tt|虫!虫!虫! ...虫!|Mushi! Mushi! Mushi! ...Mushi!}}" which means "Bug! Bug! Bug! ...Bug!", and Ash dons a cow costume and says "{{tt|牛?|Ushi?}}", meaning "Cow?". In the English dub, Ash just suggests that the bug Misty is cowering over might just be a "Cowterpie". Afterwards, the narrator makes a comment that that the pun is a rude thing to say.
* The word "Mika" on Jessie's Kakuna disguise is painted out in the dub.
* The narrator talking at the beginning of the episode after the recap was removed in the dub.
* Misty's bikini scene was removed from the {{pmin|Hindi}} Cartoon Network dub and the HungamaTV re-dub.
* In the original when Meowth lands on Ash's head and asks what Ash is sneaking around for, Ash says Meowth. Meowth then scratches him and says for Ash to call him Meowth-sama. In the dub, Meowth lands on his head and asks if Ash knows what his favorite game is. After scratching him he says it's scratch and sniffle.
* In the original version, Team Rocket says they got a paper box because it allowed them to save money. In the dub, Team Rocket says that it was because it weighed less.
* In the original version, Ash wonders if Metapod thought Ash was using it as a tool, he left it because he didn't have the strength. He says he won't run away from his friends anymore as if they are tools. In the dub, he said that he didn't abandon Metapod, and that it was the samurai's fault. He then says that he won't abandon his friends anymore.

====Differences between the episode and the [[Pocket Monsters Film Comic|comic adaptation]]====
* The Cowterpie joke was cut.
* The scene where Misty first encounters Samurai is cut, leaving Samurai's first appearance to be when he encounters Ash. Similarly, Misty rushing and screaming out for Ash in an attempt to warn him is cut out.
* During the scene where the Metapod are hardening during their battle, only the picture of Pikachu sunbathing is retained, whereas the episode shows both Misty and Pikachu sunbathing.
** On a related note, the comic has Pikachu briefly saying "Chu..." while lounging, while in the episode, he was completely silent.
* The panel where Misty scolds Samurai and Ash for being "more hardheaded than their Metapods" reuses the panel where Jessie and James knock Meowth off their Beedrill-protection device.
* Meowth scratching Ash (as well as Ash's reaction) is cut from the comic.
* The final scene where Jessie and James end up wearing Kakuna disguises in the comic cuts out the part where they end up being stung as a result of the Kakuna deducing their real identities.

Talk:Wonder Guard (Ability)

2026-05-19T22:24:46Z

DarkMatterMan4500: /* NPC Trainers switching to bypass Wonder Guard */ Reply

== Curious trivia ==

In at least [[Generation III]], attempting to use a {{t|Normal}} or {{type|Fighting}} move on a Shedinja will yield "Shedinja avoided damage with Wonder Guard!" despite that the move would not be expected to have an effect on Shedinja's Ghost typing anyway.

In at least [[Generation VI]], the game instead declares "It doesn't affect Shedinja...", with the type immunity taking priority over Wonder Guard.

I haven't tested what the games say in Gen IV or V, or if there are any further implications of the change in messages displayed. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 07:38, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
:This also happens in Generation V. Not sure about Generation IV, though. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:59, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
::I just tested this in HeartGold against a Furret using Quick Attack. It said exactly this: "SHEDINJA avoided damage by using Wonder Guard!" --[[User:GuyPerfect|GuyPerfect]] ([[User talk:GuyPerfect|talk]]) 16:41, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

== Wonder Guard + Ring Target ==

So, how would ring target work with the ability Wonder Guard? Does it simply make the immune moves (aka normal and fighting) hit for 1x damage, making them ineffective against Shedinja OR does it take every immunity granted by Wonder Guard and make Shedinja vulnerable? ([[User:Arcalargo|Arcalargo]] ([[User talk:Arcalargo|talk]]) 21:24, 10 May 2016 (UTC))
:The attacks would still have no effect on Shedinja, but let's say that someone gave Wonder Guard to a Spiritomb. If Spiritomb had a Ring Target, Fighting attacks become Super Effective and thus will not be protected by Wonder Guard. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 21:29, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

== Stealth Rocks' effect on Wonder Guard ==
If a Pokémon with Wonder Guard isn't weak to the Rock type, will they still get hurt by Stealth Rocks? [[User:Gryphon827|Gryphon827]] ([[User talk:Gryphon827|talk]]) 15:51, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

:Well. . . .I can't prove it myself, but I think so. Wonder Guard doesn't prevent indirect damage, and I don't know if something with it can get hit by Spikes, but I know they can be hit by ''Toxic'' Spikes, so my guess is that Wonder Guard won't protect from all three.[[User:Qwertyo76|Qwertyo76]] ([[User talk:Qwertyo76|talk]]) 16:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

== NPC Trainers switching to bypass Wonder Guard ==

I've observed NPC trainers switching Pokémon when the current Pokémon can't damage Shedinja in Pokémon Emerald. This is even with trainers who would not normally switch Pokémon. I would assume this behaviour is present in all later generations, although I have not yet tested this. I will also be looking to test this on Ruby and Sapphire to see if the older Generation 3 games have this behaviour.

There are also specific conditions that I'm keen to test but I lack the game knowledge to know how to set them up:

-is the amount of remaining PP considered when switching i.e. will the NPC switch to a Pokémon even if it has no PP left for moves that would bypass Wonder Guard?

-Will an NPC switch if they have no damaging moves available, but have a Pokémon that can inflict a damaging status?

-Will an NPC switch to a Pokémon that has a damaging ability, such as Rough Skin? Does it make a difference if the conditions for the ability cannot be met e.g. the Pokémon does not have any contact-type moves that would trigger Rough Skin?

-Will an NPC switch if a Pokémon other than Shedinja has Wonder Guard? Will it consider the typing of the new Pokémon, or does the game assume a Pokémon with Wonder Guard must be Bug/Ghost type? [[User:SadNoodleSoup|SadNoodleSoup]] ([[User talk:SadNoodleSoup|talk]]) 14:38, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

:So, in the Emerald Gym battle with Juan, he will not switch out his Luvdisc and instead always seems to use Sweet Kiss, presumably to inflict confusion. Which suggests that NPC trainers will attempt to inflict damaging statuses to get around Wonder Guard. I don't know if it's quite definitive enough yet though. [[User:SadNoodleSoup|SadNoodleSoup]] ([[User talk:SadNoodleSoup|talk]]) 02:02, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
::In order to make a Wonder Guard switch, they need to have something in the back that can actually hit Shedinja. Juan doesn't. [[User:SadisticMystic|SadisticMystic]] ([[User talk:SadisticMystic|talk]]) 05:22, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
:::Oh, yes you're right. I had my brain a little twisted around and was thinking that Taunt was a damaging move. [[User:SadNoodleSoup|SadNoodleSoup]] ([[User talk:SadNoodleSoup|talk]]) 14:01, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
:[[User:SadNoodleSoup|SadNoodleSoup]] I've seen modded gameplay videos from a user named Auke1993 in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] with a Sableye who had Wonder Guard the whole time, but I'm not quite sure if that really means anything though.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Our heroes visit the Alola TV studios to cheer on Sophocles, who’s competing in a quiz show! Afterward, Rotom bumps into George, the producer of Alolan Detective Laki, who takes them on a tour. Kiawe is beyond excited to see the adorable Magikarp named Karpy live on set—until it evolves into a fearsome Gyarados!

On top of that, the three stars of George’s superhero show get stuck on location and can’t make their shooting schedule. Thinking quickly, he recruits Lillie, Mallow, and Lana to become The Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols! The girls are a big hit, Gyarados gets recast as an intimidating villain, and all’s well that ends well!

==Plot==
The television host announces the beginning of the Alola Pokémon Quiz, with the first to buzz in having the chance to answer the question. {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} watch from the audience as {{an|Sophocles}} competes in the show. [[Noah]] is also competing and quickly answers the first question correctly, being awarded with a {{wp|lei}} of flowers. Sophocles and Noah prove to be an even match, both answering nine questions correctly. The host gives the final question for the preliminary round, and Sophocles eventually loses to Noah.

Backstage, the group comforts Sophocles and {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} after their loss. {{Rotom}} then notices [[George Charino]], the producer who works on the television series Alolan Detective Laki. Charino invites the group to see the filming of an upcoming drama, and they all agree. They walk outside and notice a gathering crowd up ahead. Sophocles and his friends make their way to the front of the crowd and are left speechless when they see Karpy. When Ash is confused, his classmates explain that Karpy is a child actor prodigy famous for the hit TV show "Little Magikarp's Melody". Rotom takes some photos before Karpy's {{OBP|manager|SM113}} orders him off the set. The TV crew begins shooting a scene of Karpy's {{p|Yungoos}} friend leaving, but Karpy's voice suddenly becomes too hoarse, and its body eventually starts glowing, prompting Karpy's manager to take it off the set for a rest.

When George is about to leave for a shoot, [[Rinka and Kenichi]] run up and inform him that the lead actors from "Fresh-Tree" cannot show up to set because of a {{m|Blizzard}} whipped up by a {{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}, which is preventing the actors' plane from leaving the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. George then spots {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, and {{an|Mallow}}; and decides that they will star in the show alongside their Pokémon. They all agree, though Lillie is worried about her limited acting experience. George takes the three girls over to the studio for their rehearsals. Meanwhile, the manager returns Karpy to the set and filming resumes. The scene initially goes well, but Karpy suddenly begins glowing again and then [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Gyarados}}. The manager approaches Karpy and tries to calm it, but it panics upon seeing its new body and flees with the manager, Ash, and his remaining friends in pursuit.

Elsewhere, {{MTR}} and [[James]] prepares [[Jessie]], as her alter ego Jessa-Bergère, for an upcoming audition of a drama commemorating the 55th anniversary of [[Alola TV]]. In a rehearsal studio nearby, George tells the girls about their starring roles in ''Thirst-Three'', short for ''The Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols'', in which three girls protect the peace of Alola and use their favorite drinks to transform into their superhero selves. He then hands each of them a script, but the trio bungles the superheroes' main catchphrase. George assures them that they did well, and with a little more practice, they will perform better.

As Karpy continues to panic, Ash confronts the manager with some questions, and she admits that she did notice that Karpy's tail appeared to be longer recently, but didn't realize that it is part of its Evolution process. Karpy charges through {{al|Anna}}'s latest shoot, leaving her in a cloud of dust, before entering the Alola TV studio building. Karpy crashes through the filming of an Alola Pokémon Quiz final round episode and interrupts the girls' ''Thirst-Three'' rehearsals. Karpy spots George and instantly begins flailing around, and George then realizes that the Gyarados is actually Karpy. George calmly pats Karpy on its head, and reassures it that everything should be fine. He announces that there is still some time for filming and asks for everyone's assistance. George's ingenuity is later showcased in the latest episode of ''The Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols''.

Later, Ash and his classmates gather at {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s home to watch Lillie, Lana, and Mallow's acting debuts in ''The Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols''. The episode begins with Mallow rushing to her two friends, played by Lillie and Lana, where the trio is going to be late for class. The three girls notice holes in the main pathway when suddenly, an angry Gyarados, played by Karpy, crashes down in front of them. Gyarados roars at the trio, so the girls decide to take action. Mallow calls over their companions, and [[Sandy]], {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}, and [[Snowy]] appear carrying drinks for the trio. The girls promptly take a sip and transform into their Alola Refreshing Trio alter-egos in a dazzling display of lights and sparkles, with Mallow wearing pink, Lillie blue, and Lana yellow. The three heroes go on to defeat Gyarados with a powerful rainbow-beamed "Alola Thank You: Sundae Sunrise" attack. The episode ends with the superheroes posing while the narrator asks if they will be able to make it to class on time.

Ash and the other boys are impressed by their friends' performances and congratulate the girls on their great acting. Meanwhile, George announces that Karpy will still have a future in TV as a villain. He and the manager watch as Team Rocket film a scene in which they are fleeing from a rampaging three-headed Gyarados monster. Jessie is annoyed that her Alola debut is so demanding, but Meowth reminds her that she said she was prepared to do anything during her audition. James then questions why he and the others are in the film in the first place.

* The Japanese title of the episode is a reference to the Japanese title of the 1971 British film ''{{wp|Melody (1971 film)|Melody}}'', which was a huge hit in Japan.
* The episode number on the clapperboard seen during the filming of Little Magikarp's Melody is "#113", referencing this episode's number.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in the main series after long absences:
** {{p|Hitmonchan}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', 535 episodes earlier.
** {{p|Hitmonlee}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', 402 episodes earlier.
** {{p|Froslass}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'', 399 episodes earlier.
* ''Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols'', the show {{an|Mallow}}, Lana, and {{an|Lillie}} appear in, takes cues from {{wp|magical girl}} anime and manga, such as the ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'', ''{{wp|Pretty Cure}}'', and ''{{wp|Wedding Peach}}'' franchises, the latter of which was animated by [[OLM]].
** The motifs of the Thirst-Three girls in their transformed personas appear to be based on [[Pokémon Center Café|Roserade Tea]], [[Soda Pop]], and Pinap Juice.
** The sequence of Mallow, Lana, and Lillie drinking their beverages is a direct [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|reference]] to a scene of the heroines from ''Wedding Peach'' drinking from wine glasses together when they say their "group motto".
* The show that Team Rocket appears in at the end of the episode is patterned after {{wp|kaiju}}-focused {{wp|tokusatsu}} films and shows:
** {{p|Gyarados}} plays the role of a {{wp|King Ghidorah}}-style three-headed dragon rampaging through a city.
** [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} are dressed in the style of the various defense teams found throughout the ''{{wp|Ultraman}}'' franchise, while {{MTR}} dresses as the friendly monster Pigmon, complete with the balloon it carried in the character's debut episode.

* The [[Your Adventure|opening animation]] is updated to include [[Ash's Meltan]].
* The man surrounded by {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon and wearing a yellow jumpsuit is a reference to actor {{wp|Bruce Lee}} and the jumpsuit he wore in the incomplete martial arts film ''{{wp|Game of Death}}''.
* The director of "Little Magikarp's Melody" is modelled after the storyboard artist and episode director of the episode, {{jwp|浅田裕二|Yūji Asada}}.
* When being proposed a role in a TV show, Lillie references her role in the school play from ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]''. Jessie also uses her alias "Jessa-Bergère" (Japanese: '''ムサバーバラ''' ''Musabarbara'') from the same episode.
* When Jessie is summoned for her auditions, she is referred to as "number 634". Using a type of Japanese wordplay called {{wp|Goroawase}}, these numbers can be read as "mu-sa-shi", spelling out Jessie's Japanese name. A similar wordplay was used in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', 996 episodes earlier.
* [[Alola TV]] celebrating its 55th anniversary is a reference to [[TV Tokyo]]'s own 55th anniversary.
* Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet narrate the preview for the [[SM114|next episode]].
* The English dub title is a reference to the song {{wp|This Magic Moment}}.

'''Ash's Infernape''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゴウカザル''' ''Satoshi's Goukazaru'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and his thirty-first overall. He was [[Original Trainer|initially owned]] by [[Paul]] as a Chimchar, but joined Ash's [[Party|team]] after being {{pkmn2|released}} in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]''.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Paul and Chimchar.png|thumb|left|220px|Chimchar under Paul's command]]
=====With Paul=====
Infernape was once a Chimchar owned by Paul. Prior to the events of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Paul saw Chimchar being chased by a furious group of wild {{p|Zangoose}} and followed. The situation began to look bad for Chimchar as he was cornered by a cliff's edge, but in his stress, he pulled off an extremely powerful {{m|Flame Wheel}} and defeated all of the Zangoose. This impressed Paul enough to add Chimchar to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match Chimchar's normal abilities or personality, resulting in Paul looking down on him and criticizing him for being weak. Since then, Paul has been pushing Chimchar to the limit to duplicate the amazing power he saw before. Traumatized, Chimchar had also gained a morbid fear of Zangoose.

Chimchar debuted in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', where Paul used him to battle [[Ash's Aipom]]. He fought well but lost in the end. Chimchar reappeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' where he won against [[Ash's Turtwig]].
[[File:Paul scolding Chimchar.png|thumb|220px|Chimchar being scolded by Paul]]
In ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', Paul used Chimchar in his Gym Battle against [[Roark]] and his {{p|Onix}}. Chimchar immediately took damage from Onix's previously placed {{m|Stealth Rock}} but remained standing. Chimchar then continued to use {{m|Dig}} until Onix was knocked out, having support from [[Paul's Elekid]] and its {{a|Static}} Ability slowing Onix down. Chimchar then went up against [[Roark's Cranidos]]. Paul used the same strategy again, having Chimchar dodge and attack with Dig. However, Roark had figured it out and dealt major damage from continuous attacks from {{m|Headbutt}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, causing Chimchar to activate {{a|Blaze}}, something it turned out Paul had been waiting for. Chimchar attacked with a powered-up Flame Wheel and injured Cranidos's leg, following up with Dig, but was knocked out by a Headbutt, leaving Paul angry with Chimchar for his defeat and promising to deal with him later.

After losing to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', where he was forced to battle alongside Ash. That night, Ash discovered Paul's training regime, which involved directing several of his other Pokémon to attack Chimchar in the hopes of recreating the power he had displayed against the Zangoose. Chimchar accidentally struck Ash with his {{m|Flamethrower}}, causing him to panic and check on the Trainer, but Ash simply complimented Chimchar on his growing strength. After both Ash and {{an|Dawn}} questioned Paul about his harshness towards Chimchar and not his other Pokémon, he explained that he was training Chimchar as he wanted, something the {{t|Fire}}-type nodded to confirm. Ash sadly tried to explain to Chimchar that there were other ways to get stronger, but a conflicted Chimchar still followed Paul to return to training when called on.
[[File:Paul training method.png|thumb|left|220px|Chimchar being trained harshly by Paul]]
Paul's brutal methods soon left Chimchar unable to stand, at which point Paul instructed Elekid to use {{m|Thunder}} on the defenseless Pokémon to wake it up: at this point, an angered {{AP|Pikachu}} rushed in with {{m|Volt Tackle}} to defend Chimchar from the attack, and Ash finally intervened and took Chimchar to the Pokémon Center, where [[Nurse Joy]] sternly told an impatient Paul that he would be unable to battle and that he had to be given time to recover. Paul ignored this warning, however.
[[File:Chimchar shields Turtwig Fire Blast.png|thumb|220px|Chimchar protecting Turtwig during the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]
During the next battle, Chimchar and Ash's Turtwig were pitted against a {{p|Metagross}} and a Zangoose, leaving Chimchar too afraid to attack and having to be saved by Turtwig. In contrast to the support, Paul commanded the reluctant Chimchar to attack with Flame Wheel even when Turtwig would be hit and seriously injured by the supereffective Fire-type move, which a remorseful Chimchar made up for when it acted against its fear to shield Turtwig from the Zangoose's {{m|Fire Blast}} attack. Realizing that being forced to relive the trauma of being attacked by Zangoose only frightened Chimchar instead of motivating it and activating Blaze-despite him courageously holding off Zangoose's attack-Paul gave up on the [[Pokémon category|Chimp Pokémon]], turning his back and refusing to give Chimchar further orders. However, as all seemed lost, Ash stepped in and gave Chimchar commands instead, helping him defeat Metagross with a powerful Flamethrower, and the three soon won the battle. Chimchar celebrated alongside Ash and Turtwig, but his happiness was cut short as he noticed Paul's continued silence.

Not caring for Chimchar's strengths and seeing only his failure to live up to his expectations, Paul went outside after the battle and {{pkmn2|released}} Chimchar back into the wild, before Ash and his friends arrived on the scene. As the dejected Pokémon began to head into the woods, Ash invited the Fire-type to join his team instead. Paul rudely commented that the two deserved each other: both were pathetic. Despite this, Ash encouraged Chimchar to ignore his former Trainer and told him they'd prove Paul wrong. As Paul walked away, a tearful and joyful Chimchar accepted Ash's invitation.

=====With Ash=====
[[File:Ash inviting Chimchar.png|thumb|220px|left|Chimchar being invited by Ash to join his party]]
[[DP052|Immediately after]] being released and offered to join Ash, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] arrived and kidnapped Chimchar with the extendable hand of [[Team Rocket's mechas|their balloon]], wanting to make him part of their team. However, after Ash assured him they would help him, a reassured Chimchar acted independently and easily destroyed the mecha with a single Flamethrower, sending the trio blasting off. After being caught by Ash as he fell, Chimchar happily allowed a Trainer to catch him again.

In the final round of the competition, Paul and Ash selected {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} and Chimchar for their last battle in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' against [[Conway]]'s {{p|Heracross}} and [[Dawn's Buizel]]. During the battle, Elekid evolved into {{p|Electabuzz}}, and they both combined {{m|Thunder}} and Flamethrower on Buizel and Heracross to knock them out. This victory meant that Ash and Paul won the Hearthome City Tag Battle Tournament.

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', Ash and his friends had a picnic party. Chimchar watched as Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}}'s other Pokémon had fun playing, battling, and helping cook together. Chimchar began to have flashbacks of when he was still in Paul's possession, reflecting on how his former Trainer abused him and treated him like nothing more than a tool for battle, giving him a few minutes to eat before going back to extensive training and even putting him down as he celebrated his victories, as opposed to how Ash and {{ashfr}} treated their Pokémon like friends, caring for them and not pushing them too hard. Chimchar began to cry, relieved but overwhelmed to be treated with patience and kindness finally, something Paul failed to provide as his Trainer.

That night, Chimchar was awakened by a nightmare of Paul's training and wandered off, finding {{MTR}} alone under the stars. To Chimchar's surprise, Meowth sat and spoke with him as they looked at the moon, listening to him and encouraging Chimchar that his friends would support him. The next day, after a scheme from Team Rocket went wrong due to a pack of wild Zangoose feuding with [[Jessie's Seviper]], Chimchar was faced with the challenge of having to fight three of the Cat Ferret Pokémon to save Team Rocket and the rest of Ash and friends' Pokémon from being pushed off a cliff. Though still terrified, with his new Trainer's protection and the support of his allies and even Meowth, Chimchar was able to overcome this fear and save the other Pokémon, getting rid of Team Rocket in the process as they tried to sneak away.

In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', Ash used Chimchar in his Gym battle against the [[Veilstone City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Maylene]]. Chimchar battled {{p|Meditite}}, but was recalled after Meditite confused him. He was then sent out against {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} where he was ultimately defeated, despite a valiant effort.

In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock ran into Paul, which initially caused Chimchar to hide. Ash and Paul entered an argument over their training methods which led to an enraged Ash challenging Paul to a battle, which the Trainer ignored until a spirited Chimchar ran out and barked at him, causing him to accept. After {{AP|Gligar}} was taken down, Chimchar volunteered to go up against his former Trainer, facing [[Paul's Ursaring]]. Ursaring and Paul used brutal tactics and terrified the poor Pokémon until Chimchar was pushed to the point of Blaze activating-now in a state far more intense than even Paul had seen before. Chimchar quickly and easily defeated Ursaring with a single Flame Wheel, but went on an uncontrollable rampage. Ash ran up and embraced a flaming Chimchar, begging him to stop. Chimchar continued to struggle and yell, even biting Ash in his rage, but eventually, Ash's pleading got through and Chimchar calmed down, frightened by everything that had happened. Ash assured him that Chimchar could control his power despite Paul's doubts, managing to cheer him up.

In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', while battling [[Team Galactic]], Chimchar protected Pikachu from a {{m|Poison Jab}} launched by [[Saturn's Toxicroak]]. Chimchar was incapacitated for the rest of the fight and was later thanked by Ash after receiving medical treatment. {{an|Cynthia}} then comforted Chimchar about his past with Paul.

[[File:DP053.png|thumb|220px|Chimchar being comforted by Ash]]
Ash later used Chimchar to battle {{an|Barry}} in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]''. Chimchar easily defeated Barry's {{p|Staraptor}} using his superior agility. However, Chimchar lost to Barry's {{p|Roserade}} despite the type advantage.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Ash used Chimchar as his second Pokémon in his [[Hearthome City]] Gym battle, going up against [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. Chimchar used Flame Wheel, which was dodged before Mismagius used {{m|Psywave}}, hitting Chimchar. Chimchar then spun and used Flamethrower, creating a Fire [[Counter Shield]], which hit Mismagius, but was eventually broken by Mismagius' {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Mismagius later used Psywave against Chimchar's Counter Shield, but this only blocked the Flamethrower, allowing Chimchar to hit with Flame Wheel, knocking Mismagius out. Chimchar was then recalled. Chimchar was later sent out as Ash's last Pokémon to battle against Fantina's {{TP|Fantina|Drifblim}}. His Flame Wheel was countered by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but this gave Ash an idea. Chimchar then used Flamethrower but was countered by Drifblim's Will-O-Wisp and {{m|Psychic}} Counter Shield. However, this only powered up Flamethrower, making it deal massive damage. After Ominous Wind was dodged by Dig, Chimchar came from behind and grabbed onto Drifblim, crashing it into the ground. Drifblim used Hypnosis, but Chimchar countered with Flamethrower, knocking out Drifblim and earning Ash the {{badge|Relic}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', he was Ash's first Pokémon in his battle against [[Byron]], taking on Byron's {{p|Bronzor}}. Roark quickly identified him as Paul's Chimchar whom he had battled against before. First Chimchar used Flamethrower, but it didn't do much damage due to Bronzor's Ability {{a|Heatproof}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}. Chimchar escaped the rain by using Dig and eventually defeated Bronzor when his Flame Wheel won out against Bronzor's {{m|Gyro Ball}}. After Ash's Buizel was defeated, Chimchar was sent out again against {{p|Steelix}}. Chimchar was still weak from his last battle and struggled to overcome Steelix's ability to shake up the ground as Chimchar used Dig. Just as Chimchar was about to be caught by {{m|Bind}}, the ground collapsed on Steelix because Dig weakened it, allowing Chimchar to finish it off with Flame Wheel. He then went up against {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}}. His Flamethrower was countered with {{m|Iron Defense}} and then {{m|Metal Burst}}, which returned the damage, knocking Chimchar out.
[[File:Ash Chimchar snowboarding.png|thumb|left|250px|Chimchar snowboarding on an ice pillar]]
In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', he was Ash's fourth Pokémon in his Snowpoint Gym battle, battling [[Candice]]'s {{p|Snover}}. After dodging {{m|Ice Beam}}, his Flamethrower clashed with her {{m|Icy Wind}}, creating water vapor. Ash told Chimchar not to panic and to sense Snover's movements. When he sensed her, he used Flamethrower, knocking her out. He then went up against Candice's {{p|Abomasnow}}. His Flamethrower was overpowered by her {{m|Blizzard}}, knocking Chimchar backward. Ash then recalled Chimchar. He was later sent out again against Abomasnow once again after {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Grotle}} were defeated. His Flamethrower was overpowered by Blizzard again, but Chimchar dodged the attack. He struggled to dodge its next two attacks. Ash then decided to rely on speed after power wasn't enough but didn't know how to go about it. After Chimchar dodged Blizzard, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Wood Hammer}}, Ash saw the ice break and told Chimchar to jump on an ice pillar. After Abomasnow broke the ice, Chimchar used a piece of it like a snowboard, increasing his speed and letting him launch multiple successful Flamethrowers. After dodging more attacks, Abomasnow became tired. Flame Wheel went against Blizzard, creating more water vapor, but Abomasnow was already knocked out. This won Ash the {{badge|Icicle}}.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Chimchar was Ash's sixth Pokémon used in the Full Battle Ash had against Paul. He was the last Pokémon that hadn't been knocked out by Paul's other Pokémon, which he still had the use of five. Chimchar quickly defeated [[Paul's Ursaring]], which had previously taken down three of Ash's Pokémon, and evolved soon after into a Monferno, immediately learning Mach Punch in the process. During the following battle against Electabuzz, he put up a very close fight but was defeated in a clash of Mach Punch and {{m|Thunder Punch}}, and badly injured, resulting in a loss for Ash.

In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', Monferno, along with the rest of Ash's Sinnoh team, was under the care of [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]], suffering bodily repercussions from the rough Full Battle loss against Paul. He needed a [[Cheri Berry]] to heal, but the Pokémon Center didn't have any. After Brock went to get one by the lake, he recovered. Later, he helped rescue Pikachu from {{TRT}} by hitting them with his newly learned Mach Punch before blasting them off with Flamethrower.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', he was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Dawn against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]]. Monferno used Flamethrower on [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]'s Flame Wheel to defeat Lyra's {{p|Chikorita}} and defeated Khoury's newly evolved {{TP|Khoury|Croconaw}} with a Mach Punch.

[[File:Ash Infernape Blaze.png|thumb|250px|Blaze activated]]
In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Monferno battled [[Barry's Empoleon]]. After being struck by a {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and sent crashing into the forest nearby, Monferno entered once again into an uncontrollable rampage with {{a|Blaze}} but managed to control it at the last second to save Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]], Paul's Electabuzz, and Barry's Empoleon from {{TRT}}'s falling [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], evolving into an {{p|Infernape}} in the process.

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Ash used Infernape in a battle against [[Flint's Infernape]]. However, despite his power and speed, he could not keep up with Flint's Infernape and was quickly knocked out with a Mach Punch.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Infernape was Ash's third Pokémon in Ash's rematch against [[Volkner]], going up against Volkner's {{p|Jolteon}}. Infernape launched a Mach Punch only to be hit with a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}. After dodging one {{m|Shadow Ball}}, he blocked the others with Mach Punch. Infernape was able to use Mach Punch before another Shadow Ball was launched, knocking Jolteon out. Infernape was then recalled. He was later sent out against Volkner's last Pokémon, {{p|Luxray}}. Infernape's Flamethrower drew with Luxray's equally powerful Shock Wave. Luxray then dodged his Mach Punch with {{m|Double Team}}. Though Infernape destroyed all the clones, he was hit with {{m|Thunder Fang}} but dodged a second with Dig. However, Luxray used {{m|Iron Tail}} to hit the ground, exposing Infernape and dealing lots of damage. Luxray went to finish off a downed Infernape with Thunder Fang but was interrupted by Team Rocket knocking out the power. Then Infernape's Blaze activated, initially sending it out of control, with Flamethrower hitting the wall and roof. But when Ash told Infernape to stop, he walked over to Ash and listened to him, as he controlled Blaze for the first time. Obeying Ash, he launched an extremely powerful Flamethrower but was hit by Thunder Fang, which Infernape easily countered with Mach Punch and used it again to counter Iron Tail. He then knocked Luxray out with Flame Wheel, winning Ash the {{badge|Beacon}}.

Before the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash decided he would need help from his previously caught Pokémon. Due to this, Infernape and Ash's Sinnoh party, except for {{AP|Pikachu}}, were all sent to Professor Oak's Laboratory. [[DP185|Later]] during the tournament, Ash recalled Infernape to his team and trained against [[Brock's Sudowoodo]] to improve Flame Wheel when Infernape suddenly learned {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Ash originally planned to use him in his battle against Conway along with his {{p|Torterra}} and {{AP|Glalie}}, but after Dawn said power might not be enough, he decided not to focus on sheer power and instead used different Pokémon.

Infernape was later used in [[DP186|the Full Battle]] against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where he managed to [[Burn (status condition)|burn]] Aggron with Flare Blitz before defeating it with Mach Punch. Ash decided to recall him when Paul sent out his {{p|Gastrodon}}. [[DP187|Later on]] he was sent out again to battle Paul's {{p|Ninjask}}. Ninjask's {{m|Agility}} was getting the better of him, so Ash told him to use Dig and Flare Blitz, which heated up the field. This caused fire to erupt out of the ground and created a mist over the whole field, drastically damaging Ninjask but also canceling {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. After putting up a good fight, Infernape ended Ninjask's lightning speed with a Mach Punch, evening the score.
[[File:Ash Infernape vs Paul Electivire.png|thumb|left|250px|Battling Electivire at the Lily of the Valley Conference]]
Infernape was sent out once more after Pikachu's elimination against Paul's now fully evolved {{p|Electivire}} in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', as the battle came down to the final Pokémon on both sides. Infernape initially caused Electivire severe damage, but after multiple traded blows, his arm was caught by Electivire's tail, and he was shocked by a brutal Thunder attack while being held in place, causing him to collapse and the referee to begin to declare him unable to battle. Electivire stopped the referee, however, giving Infernape time to get back up. Seeing Electivire's goading and hearing Paul declare him pathetic again, an explosive Infernape finally stood and roared as Blaze activated again. With the increase in strength, he was able to give a final stand against the Thunderbolt Pokémon and push it to the limit with his attacks, leading to an explosive collision between a devastating Flare Blitz and Electivire's Thunder Punch that created a massive tornado of blue fire and electricity in the stadium. Infernape eventually overpowered Electivire's attack, and though visibly sustaining [[recoil]] from Flare Blitz, Infernape remained standing after one final stare-off as his opponent collapsed. Though worn from the battle, Infernape celebrated finally proving his strength against his former Trainer and rival, giving Ash his first victory against Paul and access to the Semifinal Round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Ash left Infernape at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Unova]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Infernape was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Ash Infernape vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|Infernape battling Moltres]]
Infernape made a return in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]''. When visiting Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]], Ash learned from {{an|Professor Oak}} that Infernape had picked fights with some of his other {{type|Fire}} Pokémon before disappearing a few days earlier. When Ash and Goh went to look for Infernape, they met {{Gary}}, who told them that he was looking for {{p|Moltres}}. He also revealed to them that Infernape had continued to train on his own after Ash had left for Unova, so much to the point that he rarely saw him around his grandfather's lab. They then deduced that Infernape, intent on growing stronger, must have left the lab to find and battle the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Fire-type Pokémon.

They then traveled to a valley where Gary expected Moltres to appear and found Infernape there, calling out for Moltres. As Infernape reunited with Ash, Moltres appeared, having heard Infernape's calls. Ash used Infernape to battle against Moltres, but despite putting in his best effort, he stood no chance against the [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird]] and backed down from the fight. After the battle concluded, Infernape returned to Professor Oak's Lab and shared his experience with his Fire-type comrades, making them understand his reasoning for picking fights with them.

Infernape appeared in a flashback of Ash's Gym battle with Volkner in ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]''.
[[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|left|Infernape and Ash's Fire types celebrating with Gengar after it defeated Paul]]
Infernape, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he met up with his former Trainer and later joined Ash's other Fire types to help teach [[Ash's Gengar]] {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. After this, he watched the battle between Ash and Paul. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

[[File:Ash Sinnoh Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|220px|Infernape encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]
In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Infernape was gathered with the rest of Ash's Pokémon to watch his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. He was later seen celebrating when Gengar managed to defeat Steven's {{p|Aggron}}. From ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'' to ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]'', Infernape watched Ash's match against {{an|Cynthia}}. During the battle, Infernape got excited when {{AP|Lucario}} entered the match. In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', Infernape watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Infernape and the other Fire-type Pokémon were impressed when Leon used his {{TP|Leon|Charizard}} in battle. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Infernape appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Charizard. After Ash won the battle, Infernape joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Infernape, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Infernape was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, he, alongside {{AP|Hawlucha}}, battled [[Jessie's Gourgeist]] and [[James's Carnivine]]. He later used Flare Blitz to prevent Team Rocket from capturing Pikachu.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Infernape.png|thumb|left|250px|Infernape and Ash]]
As a Chimchar, Infernape suffered from extremely low self-esteem due to [[Paul]]'s constant scolding and harsh treatment, making Chimchar fear Paul to some extent, always feeling fear and anxiety whenever he believed Paul would punish him by not living to his Trainer's expectations. This was also briefly extended towards {{Ash}}, as when Chimchar heard Ash yell out to him, Chimchar froze in fear, believing that Ash would punish him, but was greatly surprised to find out that Ash's yelling was out of concern rather than anger. Nonetheless, Chimchar was always a sweet and kindhearted Pokémon, although he was forced to suppress and hide these emotions around Paul, as whenever Chimchar showed any emotion other than anger and ferocity, he was scolded or reprimanded by Paul. Despite this, Chimchar always did his best to please Paul, and even after all his mistreatment, Chimchar, after being released by Paul, pleaded for him to change his mind, albeit unsuccessfully.
[[File:Paul and Infernape.png|thumb|250px|Infernape and Paul]]
After being taken in by Ash, Chimchar had difficulty blending in with his new Trainer's atmosphere, as he realized that unlike Paul, his new Trainer and fellow Pokémon were always happy and helped each other, and rarely showed any signs of hostility amongst themselves. Unable to suppress his feelings any longer, Chimchar cried his heart out while being held in his arms, being overwhelmed with joy at finally being treated with love, care, and respect, and not having to suffer from mistreatment again. Since then, Chimchar's strength slowly began to increase, something that Paul always tried, but was never able to do. [[Reggie]] speculated that Paul's training methods weren't suited for Chimchar, but Ash's worked perfectly, and Chimchar quickly became one of Ash's most used and powerful Pokémon in Sinnoh.
[[File:DP081.png|thumb|left|220px|Chimchar's Blaze Ability going out of control]]
One of the keys to Chimchar's power Paul sought was his {{a|Blaze}} Ability, something his first Trainer would push him to exhaustion to draw out; even going so far as to trying to make him relive the stress of its traumatic experience being cornered and outnumbered by {{p|Zangoose}}. However, when Chimchar faced down Paul and his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} for the first time under Ash's care, Blaze emerged again with a drastically different new appearance, with Chimchar's eyes glowing red and his flames growing larger than his entire body. Ash, who had witnessed the Blaze Ability from other {{t|Fire}} types and watched it activate in Chimchar's battle with [[Roark]], described it as unlike any Blaze he had seen prior, and {{an|Brock}} noted to {{an|Dawn}} during this explosive Blaze's first appearance that they could be witnessing his full power. However, possibly as a result of his past experience of being pushed to his limit and of Blaze activating under immense stress, this incredible dormant power came with a drastic personality change; Chimchar went completely berserk, attacking anyone and anything that stood in his way, friend or foe. This anger and rage caused Chimchar to lose any common sense, such as nearly fatally wounding his own Trainer, and it took Ash a large amount of effort and pain to finally calm him down the first time he entered this state, after which he was shown to be frightened.

Chimchar's fear of his repressed power remained a lingering insecurity for quite some time, as Ash refused to willingly activate Blaze in battle. While this worked to raise Chimchar's morale in the short term, it also left his special power unstable and volatile; this did not change after he evolved into {{p|Monferno}}, as when Blaze activated in a battle against [[Barry's Empoleon]], he lost control yet again, greatly endangering his Trainer by enveloping him in flames. However, he ultimately overcame this issue to save his friends from being crushed by Team Rocket's mecha, evolving into {{p|Infernape}} in the process. Paul, who had witnessed the whole situation, noted that Infernape had turned the energy from Blaze into a new power, unlocking the true potential of his abilities. Infernape's control over his power was solidified in his battle against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Luxray}}. With the trust of his Trainer, he managed to retain his common sense and still listen to Ash's commands while Blaze was activated, finally gaining mastery over the incredible power its former Trainer had once tried to force.

[[File:Ash Infernape great power.png|thumb|250px|Infernape unleashing his overwhelming power]]
After reaching his final evolved stage, Infernape gained an immense amount of fighting spirit, becoming fired up and determined to defeat strong opponents while also always looking forward to battling an opponent stronger than himself, wanting to surpass his own limits and enhance his skills. Infernape is also incredibly feisty and resilient, capable of withstanding many powerful attacks and still continuing battling, even as far as thriving while feeling pain. Infernape uses the pain and exhaustion to motivate himself to continue battling and ultimately achieve victory. As noted by Reggie, Infernape's personality almost completely matches Ash's, which is why they are a perfect match for one another. He still retains some of his childlike and excitable personality from when he was a Chimchar, shown especially when he hugged Ash and let his Trainer spin him around after emerging victorious in the Gym battle Volkner, and like when he was a Chimchar, always takes any advice and motivation he receives, even from his enemies, such as {{MTR}}.
[[File:Ash Infernape Paul Electivire.png|thumb|left|250px|The rivalry between Infernape and Electivire]]
From the moment they met, Infernape and {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} had an intense rivalry, even from their days as a Chimchar and an {{p|Elekid}}. When both were under Paul's command, Elekid always looked down on Chimchar, thinking of it as inferior to itself and feeling pleasure whenever it belittled him. Over time, however, Electivire grew to respect Infernape's increasing power; as an {{p|Electabuzz}}, it was surprised yet amused and glad to see that Chimchar had evolved into Monferno during their battle at [[Lake Acuity]], with Ash's Pokémon also returning the respect towards Paul's. Infernape and Electivire's growing mutual respect for the other's strength reached its peak during their final battle at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]; when the referee was about to declare Infernape unable to continue, Electivire angrily stopped him from ending the fight and taunted Infernape to get back up, even though Infernape's loss would mean Paul winning the battle. It seemed extremely delighted to see Infernape returning to its feet, wanting to prolong their battle for as long as possible. After Infernape bested Electivire, it was visibly smirking at seeing Infernape on top, and finally viewed Infernape as its equal.

Since being left at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Infernape continued his training by challenging all of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon to battles, and even went out of his way to challenge the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Moltres}} upon hearing of its rumored appearance. Despite this, Infernape gets along with Ash's Fire types and usually hangs out with them. Infernape also formed a friendship with {{AP|Gengar}} when it began training with the Fire types for the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. He appeared to be Gengar's main training partner during Ash's visit before the tournament, helping it learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and cheering over its victory against Paul. During that same visit, Infernape was shown to have moved past his and Paul's once-strained relationship, accepting his former Trainer's orders and happily bidding him farewell.

==Trivia==
* The [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured at the end of [[DP067]] is about Ash's Chimchar. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about him: 「ヒコザルは　やればできるこ　がんばるこ」 "''{{tt|Hikozaru|Chimchar}}, you can do it if you try, so keep trying.''"
* Infernape is the only Pokémon owned by {{Ash}} who was previously owned by a recurring [[rival]].
* Infernape is the first Pokémon belonging to a rival to have a confirmed gender outside of [[gender differences]] and single gender species.
* Infernape is the only Pokémon [[Released Pokémon|released]] by Paul to have appeared in more than one episode.
* Infernape is Ash's first:
** {{type|Fire}} Pokémon to fully [[Evolution|evolve]] under his ownership since {{AP|Charizard}}, which evolved in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', 583 episodes earlier.
** First partner Pokémon to reach its final evolved form outside of Kanto.
** {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon since {{AP|Heracross}}, which was caught in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', 479 episodes earlier.
** Fighting-type Pokémon to reach his fully evolved form while under his ownership.
*** If [[List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|Pokémon that cannot evolve]] are not counted, he would be the only one to do so until {{AP|Riolu}}'s Evolution in ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', 501 episodes later.
* Chimchar's Evolution into Monferno was first revealed in a Japanese movie poster for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', and Monferno's Evolution into Infernape was first revealed in [[The Greatest - Everyday!]].
* Chimchar took the longest to evolve out of all of Ash's Pokémon that evolved in the same [[series]] that they were caught in, taking 129 episodes to evolve into Monferno.
* Infernape is the only one of Ash's Sinnoh Pokémon that has been seen battling outside of {{aniseries|DP}}.

List of Goh's Pokémon

2026-04-30T11:28:52Z

DarkMatterMan4500: /* Met in Kalos */

[[File:Goh Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Some of Goh's Pokémon]]
The following is a '''list of Pokémon currently owned by [[Goh]]'''. As his goal is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that he meets on his way to catch {{an|Mew}}, Goh owns a multitude of Pokémon species, most of which he usually keeps at the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. The [[Galar first partner Pokémon]] are the only ones that he permanently keeps in his [[party]].

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Goh left all of his Pokémon, aside from his Galar first partner Pokémon, under [[Professor Cerise]]'s care before departing from the Cerise Laboratory, though he still continues to catch new Pokémon.

'''Burn Up''' (Japanese: '''もえつきる''' ''Burn Out'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

==Effect==
If used by a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, Burn Up will thaw out the user if it is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}, and then inflict damage to the target and cause the user to [[Type change|lose]] its Fire type. Burn Up fails if the user is not Fire-type, making the move always fail after the first use until the Pokémon regains its Fire type (either by switching out, or other type changing effects such as through {{a|Protean}} or {{m|Reflect Type}}); Burn Up cannot thaw the user if the move would fail (due to the user not being Fire-type).

If the user is a pure Fire-type Pokémon, it will become {{DL|Type|typeless}}.

Like all type changing effects, the Pokémon's type reverts to its default types if it is switched out.

A Pokémon with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} cannot successfully use Burn Up unless it already is Fire-type; otherwise, Burn Up will fail and Protean or Libero will not activate.

A Pokémon that has {{Tera}}stallized (into either Fire or Stellar Tera type) will not lose its Fire type. Therefore, a Terastallized Burn Up can be used multiple times in a row without needing to switch out.

===Generation IX===
As no available Pokémon can learn Burn Up, it can only be used through {{m|Metronome}}.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Fire}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev7|SMUSUMPE}} {{gameabbrev8|SwShBDSPLA}} {{gameabbrev9|SV}}|To inflict massive damage, the user burns itself out. After using this move, the user will no longer be Fire type.}}

'''Burn Up''' (Japanese: '''もえつきる''' ''Burn Out'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

==Effect==
If used by a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, Burn Up will thaw out the user if it is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}, and then inflict damage to the target and cause the user to [[Type change|lose]] its Fire type. Burn Up fails if the user is not Fire-type, making the move always fail after the first use until the Pokémon regains its Fire type (either by switching out, or other type changing effects such as through {{a|Protean}} or {{m|Reflect Type}}); Burn Up cannot thaw the user if the move would fail (due to the user not being Fire-type).

If the user is a pure Fire-type Pokémon, it will become {{DL|Type|typeless}}.

Like all type changing effects, the Pokémon's type reverts to its default types if it is switched out.

A Pokémon with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} cannot successfully use Burn Up unless it already is Fire-type; otherwise, Burn Up will fail and Protean or Libero will not activate.

A Pokémon that has {{Tera}}stallized (into either Fire or Stellar Tera type) will not lose its Fire type. Therefore, a Terastallized Burn Up can be used multiple times in a row without needing to switch out.

===Generation IX===
As no available Pokémon can learn Burn Up, it can only be used through {{m|Metronome}}.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Fire}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev7|SMUSUMPE}} {{gameabbrev8|SwShBDSPLA}} {{gameabbrev9|SV}}|To inflict massive damage, the user burns itself out. After using this move, the user will no longer be Fire type.}}

==Blurb==


Project Mew is embarking on its most important mission—finally encountering Mew! After the rampaging Groudon and Kyogre are revealed to actually be Mew, the Mythical Pokémon shows Goh and the other Chasers a vision of the beginning of the universe. It then starts to battle them with overwhelmingly powerful attacks, but Goh thinks it’s only playing around. He tells Mew that it’s been the inspiration for so much of his life and adventures and that he’s grateful. Vowing to see it again someday, he’s shocked when Mew suddenly appears in the palm of his hand—literally! Mew then departs, and the Chasers return to a grateful Professor Amaranth.

==Plot==
The Chasers of [[Project Mew]], having gotten split up into two groups during their exploration of [[Faraway Island]] due to unforeseen circumstances, are now facing a {{p|Groudon}} and a {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively. Groudon quickly overpowers [[Quillon]]'s {{p|Weavile}}, but is saved from being struck by its {{m|Fire Blast}} by {{Gary}} distracting it. Unexpectedly, Groudon promptly turns around and leaves. Quillon feels something is off with Groudon and urges Gary to follow it with him. With the other group, [[Danika]] and her {{p|Azumarill}} are no match for Kyogre. [[Goh]] and [[Horace]] attempt to distract Kyogre with flares, only to be sent flying by its {{m|Origin Pulse}}. When Kyogre prepares to attack again, {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}, unable to just stand back and watch any longer, jumps in and hits Kyogre with its newly-learned {{m|Wood Hammer}}. While it fails to deal significant [[damage]], Kyogre still turns around and swims away. The Chasers pursue it, with Goh thanking Grookey for helping them along the way.

The Chasers follow the [[Legendary Pokémon]] into a large open area at the center of Table Mountain, where they spot each other and the two Pokémon heading towards each other. Groudon and Kyogre clash, and as soon as they do, they suddenly start glowing and mold together into one being, which is revealed to have been a {{m|Transform|disguised}} {{an|Mew}} all along. Mew {{m|teleport}}s onto a glowing, floating rock at the center of the area, which releases pulses of light onto other rocks in the area, causing them to glow as well, much to the enjoyment of the local [[wild Pokémon]]. When the Chasers approach the floating rock, its glow brightens to a blinding level. Goh suddenly finds himself floating in space, where he witnesses a {{wp|supernova}}, the birth of a galaxy, the {{wp|Formation and evolution of the Solar System|formation of the solar system}}, and even the birth of the [[Pokémon world]]. {{p|Rayquaza}} flies by, causing Goh to fall into a prehistoric sea, where he witnesses the life of ancient Pokémon, before being pulled out of the water and flying towards Faraway Island alongside Mew, who unexpectedly disappears and lets him fall.

Goh snaps out of his vision just as suddenly as it had begun, and it turns out all the Chasers had actually experienced the exact same vision as well. Danika theorizes that the floating rock is actually a crystallization of the memories of the universe, but as soon as she touches it, it stops glowing and falls to the ground. The other rocks also stop glowing as a result, leading to the wild Pokémon to start bickering with each other. [[Professor Amaranth]] suddenly contacts them, revealing that their electronic devices, including communication equipment and [[Poké Ball]]s, are working normally again. Amaranth informs the Chasers that the {{t|Psychic}} energy sensor is reacting, and they look up to see Mew floating above them, observing as the bickering between the wild Pokémon escalates into an outright fight. Mew unleashes a {{m|Thunderbolt}} at all the Pokémon, with Quillon and Danika sending out their respective {{p|Urshifu}} to defend the group from stray bolts of electricity. Mew starts using {{m|Air Slash}} on the {{pkmn|category|Wushu Pokémon}}, who are quickly overwhelmed and defeated by the [[Mythical Pokémon]]'s power. The Chasers send out a new set of Pokémon to try to stop Mew, though Goh does so very reluctantly, as he feels Mew is only playing around. A massive {{m|Shadow Ball}} from Mew easily overpowers the Chasers' Pokémon's counterattacks and Horace's {{p|Gardevoir}}'s {{m|Light Screen}}, resulting in lots of damage on them and even the surrounding Pokémon. Goh's pleas for Mew to stop are ignored, and it proceeds to easily defeat the Chasers' Pokémon with another devastingly powerful attack.

In order to prevent Mew from hurting the other Pokémon more, the Chasers, aside from Goh, send out a new wave of Pokémon. While this wave is getting defeated as easily as the previous one, Goh desperately tries to think of a way to make Mew stop. Goh suddenly remembers {{Ash}} and gains determination from the memory of his courage. Stepping in front of the others, Goh tells Mew how much of an inspiration it has been to him, even if it doesn't remember their [[JN001|first encounter]]. Even while Mew charges up and fires a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Goh stands his ground, thanking Mew for being an inspiration to him. This expression of gratitude catches Mew off-guard, and it dissipates the Hyper Beam before it can hit. Mew proceeds to heal all the injured Pokémon, make the rocks glow again, and teleport the Chasers and their Pokémon to the foot of Table Mountain. Despite the sudden ending, Goh is left satisfied by this encounter. When he raises his hand to do his usual "The future's in the palm of my hand" catchphrase, Mew suddenly appears on his palm, much to the shock of everyone present, before it teleports away again, leaving Goh even more enthusiastic and satisfied.

Rain starts to pour down, marking the start of the wet season and the end of the expedition. After sharing their thoughts regarding what they experienced with Professor Amaranth, the team returns to [[Slateport City]]. Amaranth declares that the Chasers are disbanded for now, though they are free to reassume that position for the next expedition, with Danika and Quillon already having decided to stay. Goh, Gary, and Horace agree to consider the offer and return to the docks. After sharing encouragements with his friends, Goh parts ways with them and boards a ship back to [[Kanto]]. On the way home, he makes a [[JN132|phone call]] to Ash and asks him how his {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Leon}} went.

'''Kyogre''' (Japanese: '''カイオーガ''' ''Kyogre'') is a [[List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series|recurring Pokémon character]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.

===History===
[[File:Kyogre Drizzle.png|thumb|left|220px|Activating {{a|Drizzle}}]]
{{p|Kyogre}} first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', where it was sleeping in a containment room aboard [[Team Magma]]'s ship. [[Maxie]] explained that [[Team Magma]] had captured Kyogre in order to ruin [[Team Aqua]]'s plans of expanding the ocean. However, Team Aqua had Groudon in their possession, so the two organizations agreed to trade the two super-ancient [[Legendary Pokémon]] on [[Monsu Island]]. Simultaneously, a counter-operation saw [[Team Aqua]]'s [[Shelly]] infiltrate Team Magma's ship in disguise as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, allowing her to free Kyogre. After being freed, Kyogre escaped Team Magma's ship and leaped into the ocean. [[Archie]] used the [[Red Orb]] to control Kyogre and ordered it to destroy Team Magma's ship with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. It was later seen sleeping in a containment chamber onboard Team Aqua's submarine. Kyogre once again escaped after {{TRT}} failed to catch it with their electrified net.

In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Kyogre was swimming off the coast of [[Monsu Island]], where its presence caused a {{a|Drizzle|heavy downpour}} and strong winds. Using the Red Orb, Archie took control of Kyogre again and had it attack [[Lance's Dragonite]] before fighting [[Lance]]'s {{TP|Lance|Gyarados}}. After Groudon appeared, which nullified the [[weather]], Kyogre fought Groudon. [[May's Beautifly]] and [[Brock's Mudkip]] distracted Archie and Kyogre was then defeated by Groudon's {{m|Solar Beam}}. The two orbs separated from Archie and {{AP|Pikachu}}, so Kyogre was no longer filled with rage. Despite Archie being saved by Dragonite, {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} fell into the ocean, but both were rescued by Kyogre. Meanwhile, both the Blue and Red Orbs went into the sky and disappeared. Afterwards, Kyogre returned to the depths of the ocean.

===Personality and characteristics===
Kyogre's personality is unknown as it was only seen under the control of [[Archie]]. However, it was shown to be immensely powerful, causing large storms and tsunami waves that almost destroyed [[Monsu Island]]. It returned to being a peaceful giant and saved Ash and Pikachu from drowning.

'''Groudon''' (Japanese: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a [[List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series|recurring Pokémon character]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.

===History===
[[File:Groudon Drought.png|thumb|left|220px|Activating {{a|Drought}}]]
{{p|Groudon}} was revealed to be in [[Team Aqua]]'s possession and was shown sleeping in a containment chamber in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''.

In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}}, who had become possessed by the [[Blue Orb]], awakened Groudon. It subsequently broke out of the chamber and destroyed Team Aqua's ship. Groudon then nullified Kyogre's Drizzle with its {{a|Drought}}, caused [[Monsu Island]]'s volcano to erupt, and stopped Kyogre's tsunami waves with its powerful {{m|Solar Beam}}. It was able to get the upper hand and defeat Kyogre in {{pkmn|battle}} due to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|May}}'s interference. Eventually, the Blue and Red Orbs left the bodies of Pikachu and Archie, respectively, and de-materialized. Afterwards, Groudon returned to Monsu Island's volcano to rest.

===Personality and characteristics===
Groudon's personality is unknown as it was only seen awakened once. However, Groudon may be somewhat helpful, as it used the Blue Orb to call Pikachu to help to awake it in order to stop Archie and Kyogre from destroying [[Monsu Island]] with a tsunami wave.

==Blurb==

Ash's Battle Factory victory has him eager to reach the next Battle Frontier stop right away, but even he has to stop for food and water. Munchlax takes care of the Pokémon food by eating it all, which sets off a squabble that disturbs the local Geodude. The Geodude chase Ash and May's Pokémon, and some of them are separated in the commotion. Ash and May have to find their missing Pokémon!

An Onix leads the Rock-type Pokémon that live in the area, and they're none too happy about the intruders. Team Rocket sees this and convinces Onix that Ash and his friends are up to no good. Phanpy and Squirtle reunite with Pikachu, Corphish, and then Munchlax, but they're captured by Rock Pokémon working with Team Rocket. Elsewhere, Brock is captured as well!

Ash finds Onix and Team Rocket, but now all his friends and their Pokémon have been snagged! Ash tries to tell Onix that he's not a villain, and Onix decides that they'll battle. If Ash wins, his friends go free. If Ash loses... well, he'd better win! Ash choses Grovyle, who has a type advantage against Onix, and wins the round.

Team Rocket tries plan B: steal all the Pokémon outright. But Ash tells Grovyle to defend Onix against their attack, and it's clear now who the good guys are. May and the others are freed, and together everyone protects the wild Pokémon from Team Rocket. Once the villains are sent flying, Onix makes amends by giving our heroes an escorted ride out of its valley.

==Plot==
On his way to the [[Battle Arena]], {{Ash}} admires the Knowledge [[Symbol]] he received as an award for his victory over [[Noland]]. When the water canteen becomes empty, {{an|Brock}} suggests they go search for water while [[Max]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} look after the Pokémon while he is gone. {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} leads Brock and the others to a lake. Meanwhile, after serving all the Pokémon some food, Max decides to take a nap. {{TP|May|Munchlax}} greedily eats everyone's [[Pokémon food]], instantly stirring tensions. {{AP|Corphish}} tries to attack Munchlax with {{m|Bubble Beam}}, but it misses and hits {{TP|May|Squirtle}} instead. Squirtle uses {{m|Bubble}} which hits Corphish. {{AP|Pikachu}} tries in vain to wake Max up while Squirtle and Corphish exchange attacks, unintentionally disturbing a group of {{p|Geodude}}. The angry Geodude surround the Pokémon, sending Munchlax flying as well as chasing off Pikachu and Corphish. Max rushes over to check what is going on and notices that Munchlax, Corphish, and Pikachu are gone. Ash and his friends return as Max tells them that some of the Pokémon are missing. They decide that they should look for the Pokémon with Mudkip coming along while Brock stays back to look after the remaining Pokémon just in case the others return.

Meanwhile, the angry Geodude go to their clan, consisting of multiple {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Golem}}, and headed by a single {{p|Onix}}, to report the confrontation. {{TRT}} overhears the conversation, and {{MTR}} to translate, they realize the described troublesome Pokémon must be owned by the [[twerp]]s. The trio quickly put a plan into motion, hoping to use the {{t|Rock}} Pokémon to help them capture Pikachu and the others. [[Jessie]] and her teammates convince Onix that Ash and his friends are evil, so it orders its fellow Rock types to get rid of the unwanted threats.

In a flower field, Squirtle is smelling flowers and admiring a large one when a {{p|Beedrill}} pops out and begins to attack. {{AP|Phanpy}} uses {{m|Hidden Power}} to send Beedrill away. Squirtle returns to picking flowers until a swarm of Beedrill chase after them. Phanpy puts Squirtle on its back and runs away in fear. To their surprise, they run into Pikachu and Corphish, but keep running away. Pikachu and Corphish see the swarm of Beedrill fast approaching and use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Bubble Beam to send them away.

Brock starts to get frustrated with everyone taking so long and thinks he should go look for them. A group of Geodude appear and surround him before a locked cage lands on him. Pikachu, Corphish, Squirtle, and Phanpy continue searching for everyone and find Munchlax eating apples in a tree. Geodude and Golem appear and use Rollout to chase them. The Pokémon jump on a log that is in a river and use it to avoid the Rock Pokémon since they hate water. They hit a rock and fall into the water and down the waterfall. Back on land, they end up surrounded by Graveler and Golem and are trapped in a cage as well. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Corphish uses Bubble Beam to try to break the cage, but they fail. The captives, Brock and the previously missing Pokémon, remain caged up and surrounded by the Rock Pokémon.

At the bottom of the cliff, Mudkip alerts Ash and his friends to something beyond a cliff. As Ash climbs the cliff, he sees Brock and some of the Pokémon are caged up. As he turns to alert May and Max to the situation, he sees that Team Rocket have now caught them. Team Rocket recites their {{motto}} to their truly captive audience and everyone realizes that the Rock Pokémon for some reason are working for the trio. Meowth says that they've waited a long time to capture Pikachu and finally have. Team Rocket thanks Onix for capturing the twerps and the Pokémon, requesting that they keep them from ever harming Pokémon again. Ash steps in hoping to convince Onix that he would never hurt the Rock Pokémon and that Team Rocket is the ones trying to steal all of the Pokémon. Onix doesn't know who to believe and Meowth translates that Ash must defeat it in a battle to prove that he has to be telling the truth. Team Rocket realize their ploy may quickly be undone as Ash brings out {{AP|Grovyle}} to battle Onix. Brock warns that Ash must be careful since Onix is at a high level, despite being at a great disadvantage against a {{type|Grass}}.

Onix uses {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Grovyle dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, hurting itself against Onix's hard body. Onix knocks Grovyle into the surrounding cliffs. Grovyle lands a hit with {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Onix tries to use {{m|Bind}}, but Grovyle avoids it. Grovyle uses Bullet Seed again but this time at Onix's head, causing major damage. Grovyle finishes it off with {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Team Rocket panics and thinks that they should just grab Pikachu and run for it. Though Meowth suggests they should also take the powerful Onix with them, so the trio deploy their [[Team Rocket's mechas|latest mecha]]. They hurl a giant boulder toward Onix, though Grovyle uses Leaf Blade to reduce the rock to rubble. Onix finally realizes where Team Rocket's loyalties lie, and it orders its fellow Rock Pokémon to break the cages and to protect Ash and his friends from harm. Team Rocket douses the Rock Pokémon with water from the mecha's water cannons, knocking them all out. They use the robot's arms to grab Pikachu and Onix while trying to make their getaway, but the Rock Pokémon are holding them back. Mudkip uses {{m|Water Gun}}, Corphish uses Bubble Beam, and Squirtle uses Bubble to break the arms of the robot. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Onix uses Iron Tail to send Team Rocket blasting off. As thanks for helping the Rock Pokémon fight Team Rocket and perhaps an apology as well, Onix gives Ash and his friends a ride on its back as it transports them towards the Battle Arena.

==Trivia==
* [[Advance Adventure]] is used as background music.
* The dub title is a pun on the educational product {{wp|Hooked on Phonics}}.
* The episode's title is formatted as '''Hooked on Onix''' on [[Pokémon.com]].
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 20: Onix'' from [[VIZ Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* [[Jessie]] makes a reference to {{wp|Elvis Presley}}'s song {{wp|Jailhouse Rock (song)|Jailhouse Rock}}.
* This episode marks one of the rare occasions in which a member of {{TRT}} refers to one of the main protagonists by name. This time, it's {{MTR}} addressing {{Ash}}.

===Errors===
* When this episode first aired in {{pmin|the United States}}, the [[title card]] [[List of typos|misspelled]] {{p|Onix}} as {{wp|Onyx}}. This mistake was corrected by the time the episode first aired in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, and remained corrected for reruns, streaming releases, and the DVD release.
* When {{Ash}} tells {{ashfr}} to hurry up, one of the green straps on his [[bag]] turns blue like his jacket several times.
* [[Max]] only tells his friends that {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Corphish}}, and {{TP|May|Munchlax}} are missing, but Phanpy and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} were missing as well.
* The cages are not supposed to have floors in order to capture people and Pokémon from the air, but they do.
* Before [[James]] is shown and right after Pikachu and the others are caught, the {{p|Graveler}} are depicted as {{p|Geodude}}.
* After Ash and his friends' Pokémon are caught, Munchlax's underside is colored yellow like its feet instead of blue.
* When {{an|Brock}}, Pikachu, and some other Pokémon were taken to the leader Onix in the cages, a Graveler appears to be next to Pikachu in the cage.
* In the English dub, {{MTR}} incorrectly refers to the multiple {{p|Geodude}} as "Geodudes".
* In the {{pmin|Brazil}}ian dub, {{an|May}} incorrectly says that {{p|Grovyle}} is a {{t|Ground}} type. The same mistake occurred earlier in ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]''.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, a belching sound effect is added when Munchlax finishes eating all of the food.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which Pokémon would be most affected by {{m|Earthquake}}?
* Choices: {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Flygon}}

DarkMatterMan4500: /* Variations of Cute Charm */

{{unknown name}}
{{TOC right}}
'''Ability variations''' are [[Ability|Abilities]] that are identical to each other in general, but are slightly different in some ways. For example, {{a|Moxie}} boosts the user's {{stat|Attack}} if it knocks out an opposing Pokémon; {{a|Grim Neigh}} is mechanically the same but boosts {{stat|Special Attack}} instead. Below are the various Ability archetypes and the Abilities that fall into their categories.

Ability archetypes are listed in alphabetical order. Within each archetype table, Abilities are listed by generation. Within each generation, Abilities are listed alphabetically.

==Blurb==

Our heroes stop to visit their old friends Professor Juniper and Dr. Fennel on their way to Nimbasa City, just in time to witness an amazing event: Dr. Fennel uses a special Pokémon restoration machine to restore an Archen from a Plume Fossil!

The ancient Pokémon has some trouble adjusting to its modern environment, rejecting Cilan’s specially prepared food and complaining in an ear-splitting voice. Flying also proves difficult for Archen, even though it’s the ancestor of all Flying-type Pokémon. This gives our heroes and the researchers a monumental opportunity to witness the historic birth of Pokémon flight! At first Archen struggles to get off the ground, even with help from Ash’s Tranquill—but after it evolves into Archeops, it takes off easily!

Meanwhile, Dr. Fennel’s machine has drawn the attention of Team Rocket, who hack into it to steal the data. They also try to catch Archeops, but after losing a heated battle, they withdraw to celebrate their data-stealing success with Doctor Zager.

Worried about how Archeops will survive in the modern world, Dr. Fennel and Professor Juniper start making plans to create a proper environment for it...and then they discover the purpose of its persistent cries when three other Archeops appear! And so, united with others of its own kind, Archeops happily goes off with its new friends, and our heroes bid them a fond farewell.

==Plot==
[[Professor Juniper]] shows {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} a [[Plume Fossil]] she received courtesy of [[Nacrene City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Lenora]]. She reveals that the [[Fossil]] was once the ancient {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Archen}}, the oldest {{type|Flying}}. Juniper and [[Fennel]] plan on restoring the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s [[Dream Mist]]. The machine is then activated, scanning the Fossil's genetic code and then creating Archen. With her camera at the ready, Juniper films the historic moment as Fennel opens up the machine and reveals a fully restored Archen. A seed seems to fall off of Archen's plumage. Initially, Archen tries to fight off Ash and friends, confused and using {{m|Peck}} on everyone. Ash attempts to calm down the Archen but instead, they run right into each other. Archen wears herself out and falls asleep.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} uses a super sonar to listen in. [[Jessie]] is impressed that Juniper thought to use the Dream Mist to restore an extinct Pokémon to life. [[James]] is already trying to hack into the Professor's database. [[Dr. Zager]] then appears on the computer screen and orders the Rocket trio to get the priceless information no matter what.

Later, Cilan enters the room with some specially-prepared [[Pokémon food]]. His friends hush him as Archen is still fast asleep. Fennel turns to Juniper and adds that this new development will really help her Pokémon origin research. Juniper explains that even though Archen is the ancestor of all Flying types, it cannot fly. She hopes that studying Archen will reveal the origins of flight. The sound of Archen's [[cry]] is already a breakthrough, thrilling both Fennel and Juniper. Suddenly Archen wakes up and starts screeching, causing the seeds that appeared when she was revived to start sprouting. Archen uses {{m|Dragon Breath}} which narrowly misses Cilan and shatters a window. Ash restrains Archen trying to calm her down, which she does. Ash attempts to feed Archen, but she spits it out and escapes through the broken window and into the outside world. Archen makes her way over to a nearby fruit tree but spits out the tree's fruit as well. Juniper is impressed by Archen’s climbing abilities, but notes they don't actually know what it eats. As Archen hops back onto the ground, [[Fennel's Munna]] greets it. Ash and the others watch in intrigue as Archen starts flapping her wings, taking it as a sign that she wants to learn to fly.

Juniper films as Ash brings out {{AP|Tranquill}} to help teach Archen to fly. Iris brings out {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} to help and she uses {{m|Attract}} on her own accord which fails, indicating that Archen is indeed a [[Gender|female]]. Instead of helping Archen, Emolga uses {{m|Volt Switch}} to force {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} out, and due to curiosity, Archen uses Peck on Stunfisk, causing it to become surprised and use {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Archen uses her cries again while the sprouting seeds start growing more, turning into a tree. While learning to fly, Archen starts to fly for short distances. Juniper and Fennel notice the same cry while reviewing their footage, and remark that it must have some significance. Archen cries out in happiness causing the growing tree to grow even larger breaking the lab machines and going right out of the window. Archen climbs up the new tree to eat the new fruit and ends up loving that fruit. Archen cries out in delight and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Archeops}}. Archeops quickly takes to the sky, showing that she can fly to everyone.

As Jessie and {{MTR}} watch Archeops take flight through their binoculars, James has now finished copying all of the Fossil restoration machine’s data for Dr. Zager. Team Rocket soon strikes, with {{TP|James|Yamask}} using {{m|Night Shade}} to destroy the ancient tree. Ash orders Tranquill use {{m|Air Cutter}}, though Yamask counter with a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. [[Jessie's Woobat]] then tries an {{m|Air Slash}}, but Fennel has her Munna destroy the attack with {{m|Psychic}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} fires an {{m|Electro Ball}}, which gets destroyed by a Shadow Ball-Night Shade combo. Iris calls Ash's attention back to the raging fire engulfing the ancient tree. As such, he switches gears and brings out {{AP|Roggenrola}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} to put out the fire. Team Rocket uses an electric net to capture the Archeops, which enrages her, using Dragon Breath to break free and attack them. Jessie and James realize they have met their match, so they [[recall]] their Pokémon before fleeing in a smoke haze.

Oshawott and Roggenrola managed to extinguish the flames, though the tree is now completely destroyed. Archeops begins crying out, which attracts a flock of Archeops to her. Fennel and Juniper are surprised to see the thought to be extinct species. Everyone says their goodbyes to her and the flock flies away. Meanwhile, Dr. Zager informs Team Rocket that even though they failed to capture Archeops, they were able to obtain all of the data that was needed.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, Professor Juniper claims {{p|Archen}} is the ancestor of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and that it can't fly. In the original Japanese version, she only speculates that it is the ancestor.
* In the English dub, Iris tells Emolga that she told her not to use {{m|Volt Switch}}. In the original Japanese version, she tells Emolga that she shouldn't use it.
* In the original Japanese version, after Professor Juniper praises Ash, {{an|Cilan}} says that it was the reason he is currently traveling with him and Iris. In the English dub, he only mentions Ash as his reason for traveling.

'''Quick Guard''' (Japanese: '''ファストガード''' ''Fast Guard'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
{{main|Protection}}
Quick Guard protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from moves that have increased [[priority]] during that turn, such as {{m|Quick Attack}} or {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail.

{{cat|Moves that break protection}} will remove the effects of Quick Guard; {{m|Feint}}, despite being a priority move, will do full damage and remove the protection. The Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} allows [[contact]] moves to bypass Quick Guard.

[[Status move]]s that are unaffected by protection are [[Protection#Unprotectable moves|listed here]]. This primarily applies if they are given priority by an Ability like {{a|Prankster}}.

This move has +3 [[priority]], so it will be executed before most other moves.

===Generation V===
The following effects only apply to this generation.

The chance that Quick Guard will succeed drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses {{m|Endure}}, any [[protection]] move that [[Protection#Moves that protect only the user|only affects the user]], Quick Guard, or {{m|Wide Guard}}. Each time, the chance of success is multiplied by 1/2.

Quick Guard does not block moves that have been given an increased priority through {{a|Prankster}} that would not usually have one.

If a Pokémon uses Feint or {{m|Shadow Force}} to attack its own ally who is protected by Quick Guard, Quick Guard will not be dispelled.

===Generation VII onwards===
If powered up by a [[Fightinium Z]] into Z-Quick Guard, the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat rises by one stage.

==Description==
{{movedesc|fighting}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}}|The user protects itself and its allies from priority moves. If used in succession, its chance of failing rises.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUMPE}} {{gameabbrev8|SwShBDSPLA}} {{gameabbrev9|SV}}|The user protects itself and its allies from priority moves.}}

The user gives itself and teammates in the same room the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Quick Guard}} status condition for one turn. This status protects Pokémon from moves that are used from more than one space away. The Pokémon can still take damage from items or explosions.

The chance of the move failing rises if the user's most recently used move was Quick Guard or a move that evades enemies' attacks (such as {{m|Detect}} or {{m|Endure}}).

'''Quick Guard''' (Japanese: '''ファストガード''' ''Fast Guard'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
{{main|Protection}}
Quick Guard protects all Pokémon on the user's side of the field from moves that have increased [[priority]] during that turn, such as {{m|Quick Attack}} or {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail.

{{cat|Moves that break protection}} will remove the effects of Quick Guard; {{m|Feint}}, despite being a priority move, will do full damage and remove the protection. The Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} allows [[contact]] moves to bypass Quick Guard.

[[Status move]]s that are unaffected by protection are [[Protection#Unprotectable moves|listed here]]. This primarily applies if they are given priority by an Ability like {{a|Prankster}}.

This move has +3 [[priority]], so it will be executed before most other moves.

===Generation V===
The following effects only apply to this generation.

The chance that Quick Guard will succeed drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses {{m|Endure}}, any [[protection]] move that [[Protection#Moves that protect only the user|only affects the user]], Quick Guard, or {{m|Wide Guard}}. Each time, the chance of success is multiplied by 1/2.

Quick Guard does not block moves that have been given an increased priority through {{a|Prankster}} that would not usually have one.

If a Pokémon uses {{m|Feint}} or {{m|Shadow Force}} to attack its own ally who is protected by Quick Guard, Quick Guard will not be dispelled.

===Generation VII onwards===
If powered up by a [[Fightinium Z]] into Z-Quick Guard, the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat rises by one stage.

[[File:Pokémon Refresh artwork.png|thumb|Pokémon Refresh artwork]]
'''Pokémon Refresh''' (Japanese: '''ポケリフレ''' ''Poké Refré'') is a feature in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] that allows the {{player}} to care for their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in various ways. It is similar in many ways to [[Pokémon-Amie]], allowing the player to feed their Pokémon and pet it using the touch screen, but Pokémon Refresh also introduces the option for the player to clean their Pokémon up after a battle.

It can be accessed from the [[menu]] as soon as the player chooses their [[first partner Pokémon]].

==Features==
===Refresh===
[[File:Pokémon Refresh.png|thumb|250px|Curing Eevee's Paralysis]]
The eponymous feature of Pokémon Refresh is the option for the player to care for their Pokémon after battle. There are five different ways to care for Pokémon: using medicine, a comb, a brush, a towel, or a dryer. Caring for a Pokémon increases its affection.

During a battle with a wild Pokémon or Trainer, there are four ways the player's Pokémon can become dirty, each requiring a different tool to clean it up.
* Comb: cleanly grooms a Pokémon. A Pokémon may randomly need grooming after a battle after performing an offensive move, the chance of which may increase with longer battles. Specific moves such as {{m|Darkest Lariat}} that are used by the player's Pokémon always result in the Pokémon requiring combing after the battle. Only Pokémon with fur or feathers can be groomed with a comb.
* Brush: dusts off sand the Pokémon picks up from using or being hit by moves like {{m|Sand Attack}}, {{m|Bulldoze}}, and {{m|Rototiller}}. Pokémon that battle in a {{weather|sandstorm}} also can be brushed after battle.
* Towel: wipes away dirt the Pokémon picks up from using or being hit by certain moves, like {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mud Sport}}, or {{m|Sludge Wave}}.
* Dryer: dries out a Pokémon that has been hit by or used a move like {{m|Water Gun}} or {{m|Icicle Spear}}. Also dries Pokémon after a battle in the [[rain]]. Many {{type|Water}} Pokémon do not need drying.

If a Pokémon is afflicted with any of these effects, at the end of the battle (when the victory tune begins playing), an icon will appear on the lower screen that will allow the player to open Pokémon Refresh to care for their Pokémon. If the player leaves without fully caring for any Pokémon, these effects do not remain if the player opens Refresh from the [[menu]] afterwards.

If a Pokémon has a [[status condition]], this option will also show up after a battle so the player can cure it with the medicine tool. Status conditions can also be cared for by opening Refresh from the menu at any time. If a Pokémon has a status condition, its circle in the Pokémon selection menu will be orange, and when selected, an icon of an unhappy Pikachu will appear beside its stats.

===Petting===
{{main|Petting}}
The player may pet their Pokémon by using the touch screen to rub it. All Pokémon that can be petted have places where they especially like being petted and places where they dislike it. Petting a Pokémon increases its affection — shown by hearts that appear over its head — as well as its enjoyment, but if its enjoyment reaches its maximum, no affection will be gained. Petting a Pokémon in a spot it dislikes also will not increase affection. Initially, when a Pokémon has 0 affection, however, all pettable spots on its body are treated as neutral spots. Rapidly tapping the screen in succession may also hit the Pokémon, which causes an angry reaction but does not affect its stats.

Some Pokémon also have special effects on parts of their body, such as a slimy body or a sharp edge. Some of these are mainly aesthetic effects, while others may temporarily prevent the player from petting the Pokémon in reaction. Several Pokémon may have their entire bodies produce these effects, either preventing them from being petted in a favorable spot or petted altogether.

The player can also use the touch screen to high five certain Pokémon. This is done by holding the stylus on a spot away from the Pokémon's body for approximately five seconds, as long as the Pokémon also has at least 5 points of affection.

===Feeding===
[[File:Pokémon Refresh Feeding.png|thumb|250px|Feeding a Poké Bean to Pikachu]]
[[Poké Bean]]s are a specialty in the [[Alola]] [[region]] that can be fed to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to increase their affection, as well as their fullness. There are three different types of Poké Beans: Plain Beans, Patterned Beans, and Rainbow Beans.

Unlike Pokémon-Amie, Poké Beans cannot be obtained within the feature as [[Poké Puff]]s were, being obtainable primarily through [[Poké Pelago]]. The player can also gain 12 Plain Beans from [[Pokémon Center Café]]s alongside the first beverage the player orders daily, with the day of the week determining the color of the Plain Beans that are received. Up to 255 Poké Beans of each type can be held at once.

The player can also exchange Poké Beans with [[Mohn]]. He will give the player three Plain Beans for a Patterned Bean or seven Plain Beans for a Rainbow Bean. Additionally, on [[Poké Pelago]], the player can place some of the Poké Beans that have been collected into the Poké Bean crate on each island for various effects, such as attract [[wild Pokémon]] in {{DL|Poké Pelago|Isle Abeens}} or speed up [[Berry]] harvest on {{DL|Poké Pelago|Isle Aplenny}}.

{{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, {{p|Cascoon}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Spewpa}}, and {{p|Cosmoem}} cannot be fed.

==Stats==
Pokémon Refresh uses the same three stats that Pokémon-Amie introduced: affection, fullness, and enjoyment. The latter two stats limit how much the player can do to increase the Pokémon's affection. High levels of affection can grant Pokémon special benefits in battle.

These stats have point values ranging from 0 to 255, but Pokémon Refresh shows these values as abstracted levels. The table below summarizes the minimum number of points required for each level.
{| class="roundy" cellpadding=3 style="background: #{{cute color}}; border: 3px solid #{{cute color dark}}; margin:auto"
! style="background:#{{cute color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Level
! style="background:#{{cute color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Points
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 0 || 0
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 1 || 1
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 2 || 50
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 3 || 100
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 4 || 150
|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 5
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 255
|}

There are ways a couple of these stats' values can be inferred. At high fullness, a Pokémon will eat a Poké Bean more slowly than normal. At every new level of affection except for the first, and at the midpoint of level 4 (200 points), the Pokémon will also act out a special animation with many sparkles and hearts.

===Affecting stats===
When petting the same Pokémon in Pokémon Refresh, the game will keep track of the number of times the player has pet the Pokémon and gradually increase the time required to successfully pet it. After three pettings, this also changes the effect of petting the Pokémon in a favored spot. This counter only resets by switching between petting a favored and a neutral spot, viewing the switch screen, or leaving Pokémon Refresh; it is also ignored entirely if petting the Pokémon in a disfavored spot.

Pokémon can also eat only part of a Poké Bean. This increases their fullness partially (corresponding to the proportion they ate) but adds no affection. For example, if a Pokémon eats Poké Beans in three bites, eating two bites would add 2/3 of 102 points of fullness, or 68 points.

The table below describes the actions that affect Pokémon Refresh stats.

===Affection benefits===
{{main|Affection#Affection benefits|Affection → Affection benefits}}
A Pokémon with high levels of affection will gain certain bonuses in battle and will interact with its Trainer in unique ways.

* At affection level 2 and higher, a Pokémon will gain 1.2 times the normal experience from battles.

* At affection level 3 and higher, a Pokémon may endure attacks that could otherwise make it [[Fainting|faint]] and survive with 1 HP (including {{status|confusion}} damage). This can activate multiple times per turn.

* At affection level 4 and higher, a Pokémon can sometimes:
** {{stat|evasion|Avoid attacks}}, even when they have 100% accuracy. This can activate multiple times per turn.
** Shake off [[status condition]]s at the end of the turn.

* At affection level 5, a Pokémon has a higher chance of [[critical hit]]s.

There are some cases where Pokémon do not get their affection bonuses, however. This includes if a Pokémon Mega Evolves, during link battles, and at the [[Battle Tree]].

A high affection also affects many of the standard battle dialogues.

==Blurb==

On Iron Island, Ash's rival Barry is training with his Empoleon and Heracross when Empoleon suddenly turns on its Trainer. Barry calls Ash and Dawn, who are still in Canalave Town, to tell them what happened—other Pokémon on Iron Island are acting strangely, too! Ash and his friends catch the next ferry to Iron Island, with Team Rocket following them in secret, but Barry has already gone out to explore the island. Whatever is happening, only Steel-type Pokémon are affected, but why?

Ash and his friends search for Barry and encounter more Steel-type Pokémon running amok. Ash is even saved from an angry Aggron by a dapper Trainer, Riley, and his Lucario. Riley is a Steel-type Trainer who lives on Iron Island, and his Lucario uses its Aura to protect itself from the low-frequency wave that's driving other Steel-type Pokémon mad. Barry and his Heracross, off on their own investigation, spot a strange machine. Barry runs into Team Rocket and promptly blames them for everything, but Team Rocket denies that the machine is theirs. Barry and Team Rocket go to get a closer look, and discover that the machine is part of a Team Galactic operation headed up by Commander Mars!

When Team Galactic spots them, Barry and Team Rocket put up a fight but are quickly overpowered and knocked into an ancient underground ruin. Up on the surface, Riley and our heroes have also tracked Team Galactic to the ruins, which are made of metal. Together with Team Galactic's Spear Key, this must be causing the low-frequency wave! Commander Mars releases the Spear Key and the Key melds with the ruins, which release a huge bolt of energy. The wave of energy knocks Lucario backwards; as it gets to its feet, it's overcome by a strange power and prepares to attack!

==Plot==
{{an|Barry}}'s {{pkmn|training}} is going well on [[Iron Island]], as {{p|Heracross}} and {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} destroy a rock with ease. Empoleon suddenly gets struck down by a low-frequency sound wave and becomes aggressive. It then blasts Barry and Heracross with a {{m|Hydro Cannon}}.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} are getting prepared to leave [[Canalave City]] to head to Dawn's next Contest in [[Chocovine Town]]. Since they are heading up north, Ash adds that they will go to nearby [[Snowpoint City]] afterward for his next Gym challenge. Before they leave, Ash receives a call from Barry asking about how his training is going. Ash shows off his new [[Badge]], affirming his victory at the [[Canalave Gym]]. Barry reveals that something is currently wrong with his Empoleon and some other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who've begun to act violently. Iron Island's [[Nurse Joy]] explains that she can't figure out why this is only happening to {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. Ash and his friends set their sights on Iron Island next, determined to solve this mystery.

They take the next ferry to Iron Island but when they get to the [[Pokémon Center]], they find out that Barry has already left. While exploring the island, the group finds that all the Steel Pokémon are trying to hurt them and themselves. Suddenly, a huge {{p|Aggron}} charge at them, though [[Riley]] steps in and has his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} use {{m|Close Combat}} to take out the threat. Using his [[aura]], Lucario can detect the waves and if any rampaging Steel Pokémon are nearby, although it will not be affected because he can also use the aura to protect himself from the waves. Afterward, Riley guides the group to town and says he will find Barry during his continued investigation of the low-frequency sound waves. Ash and his friends protest, adding they want to help the Iron Island Pokémon. Riley warns them that it is dangerous and they will have to act without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Barry leaps off of a cliff to evade some angry {{p|Magnemite}}. His Heracross steps up and tries to fly Barry through the air, where they spot some odd machinery in the distance. However, the pair are knocked to the ground by a {{p|Skarmory}}, landing on top of {{TRT}}, who followed the [[twerp]]s to the island. Barry accuses them of angering the Steel types, pointing out a device he spotted in the air but Team Rocket claims it was none of their doing. He leads them to the location, which turns out to be a [[Team Galactic]] base led by [[Mars]], at an [[Iron Ruins (Sinnoh)|ancient ruin made of metal]] with statues of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and are attacked by Skarmory and responds by having a bunch of Golbat hit them with [[Sludge Bomb (move)|Sludge Bomb]], despite them being immune to Poison-type moves. The [[Aron]] are knocked away by Purugly's tail repeatedly. While spying on Galactic's operation, a {{p|Steelix}} knocks them directly into view. Mars promptly summons her {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt|grunt}}s' {{p|Golbat}}, who knock Heracross out with a flurry of {{m|Air Cutter}}s. Barry calls out his {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Staraptor}}, accompanied by Team Rocket’s Pokémon. However, the Golbat quickly defeat them all with Air Cutter and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attacks. {{MTR}} steps up to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but {{TP|Mars|Purugly}} replies with its claws. Barry and the Rocket trio then fall through a crevice into a small cave with Dialga and Palkia etchings.

Ash and his friends finally reach the base with Lucario's help. The group informs Riley of Team Galactic’s motives to uncover the [[Sinnoh]] time-space legend. Eventually, Mars picks up the [[Spear Key]], which fits directly into an etched panel on the {{si|Iron Ruins|ruins}}. The ruins take on a blue glow and a powerful beam of light is sent out, striking near [[Mount Coronet]]'s summit. Not even Lucario is able to fight the disturbance anymore and the Aura Pokémon is about to attack the group while Ash and [[Riley]] try to calm it down.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} decides to head for [[Snowpoint City]] for his next [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.
* After receiving a call from {{an|Barry}}, Ash and {{ashfr}} leave [[Canalave City]] for [[Iron Island]].
* Ash and his friends meet [[Riley]].
* Barry is revealed to own a {{p|Heracross}}.
* The group encounters {{tc|Commander}} [[Mars]] of [[Team Galactic]] again.
* Team Galactic excavates [[Iron Ruins (Sinnoh)|a mysterious temple]] and, using the [[Spear Key]], causes it to send out a strange beam that impacts [[Mount Coronet]].

An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld. Individual Pokémon may have only one Ability at a time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], an Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon was obtained except by [[Evolution]]—where the new Ability is determined by the former Ability—and [[form]] change.

Ability"<ref>In the [[easy chat system]].</ref> in [[Generation III]], or sometimes simply "ability" until [[Generation V]],<ref>On the [[summary]] screen, in the description of [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) and when Skill Swap is used in battle, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]] in the descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{a|Trace}}, and {{m|Worry Seed}}, and in NPC dialogue in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.</ref> after which it is consistently capitalized as "Ability".

Abilities are functionally absent in {{LGPE}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Mechanics==
[[File:Primordial Sea.png|thumb|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} activating its Ability, {{a|Primordial Sea}} in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Note the banner on the left.]]
Some species of Pokémon have multiple possible Abilities. The most Abilities any species or form has is three: two normal Abilities and one Hidden Ability. In most [[wild Pokémon]] encounters, the Pokémon's Ability will be one of its non-Hidden Abilities (each having an even chance of appearing if the species has two). Hidden Abilities were introduced in [[Generation V]]; they are relatively rare and usually require some type of special encounter.

In technical terms, a species' Abilities may be thought of as having separate slots, with an individual Pokémon's non-Hidden slot determined by its [[personality value]]. For example, an {{p|Eevee}}—with two non-Hidden Abilities—has {{a|Run Away}} for its first non-Hidden slot, {{a|Adaptability}} for its second, and {{a|Anticipation}} for its Hidden Ability slot. {{p|Vaporeon}}—with only one non-Hidden Ability—can be considered to have {{a|Water Absorb}} for both non-Hidden slots. When a Pokémon evolves, its Ability slot remains the same. This means that a {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} will evolve into a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}, while a Poochyena with {{a|Quick Feet}} will evolve into a Mightyena with {{a|Quick Feet}}.

Aside from Evolution, there are four ways for Pokémon to change Abilities in a permanent manner. First, if the Pokémon has different [[form]]s with different Abilities. Second, [[Pokémon Bank|transferring]] a Pokémon from one generation of games to a later one in which the Ability in a given slot is different. Third, using the [[Ability Capsule]], introduced in [[Generation VI]], will change a Pokémon's non-Hidden Ability slot, but it will not work if the Pokémon's species has only one non-Hidden Ability. Fourth, using the [[Ability Patch]], introduced in [[Generation VIII]], will change a Pokémon's Ability slot from its non-Hidden Ability to its Hidden Ability if it has one, or starting in [[Generation IX]], from its Hidden Ability slot to its first non-Hidden Ability slot. Aside from these methods, during battle, Pokémon may also change their Ability through [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], and certain [[move]]s and Abilities can also change a Pokémon's Ability.

When Abilities were introduced in [[Generation III]], some Pokémon only had one possible Ability. A number of these species were given a second Ability in a later generation. If a Pokémon whose species gained an Ability after Generation III is transferred to Generations IV or {{gen|V}}, it will initially retain its original Ability; upon evolving, however, its Ability slot will be recalculated and its Ability may change. When a Pokémon is transferred to Generation VI or [[Generation VII]], however, it will be locked into the appropriate slot for its current Ability.

Aside from in-battle effects, some Abilities also have effects {{cat|Abilities with field effects|outside of battle}}.

===Hidden Abilities===
{{main|Hidden Ability}}
A Hidden Ability is essentially a rare Ability that Pokémon normally do not have access to, introduced in [[Generation V]]. Most Pokémon encountered in the games will not have a Hidden Ability; but usually, there are special encounter methods where Pokémon can have a Hidden Ability. Certain [[event Pokémon]] and special in-game Pokémon may also have their Hidden Ability.

The Hidden Ability is implemented as a third slot, and a Pokémon with its Hidden Ability will retain its Hidden Ability slot upon [[Evolution]] in the same way that its normal Abilities may change. For example, a {{p|Caterpie}} with its Hidden Ability of {{a|Run Away}} will have {{a|Shed Skin}} upon evolving once and {{a|Tinted Lens}} upon evolving into {{p|Butterfree}}. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was not possible to change a Pokémon's Ability slot from a normal Ability to a Hidden Ability. [[Generation VIII]] introduced the consumable [[Ability Patch]], which allows switching between a Pokémon's normal and Hidden Abilities.

When {{pkmn|breeding}} with a Pokémon that has its Hidden Ability, its offspring [[Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|have a chance]] of having their Hidden Ability as well.

===Inheriting Abilities===
{{main|Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|Pokémon breeding → Inheriting Abilities}}
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by {{pkmn|breeding}}. An Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities.

Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its Hidden Ability and is bred with a male Pokémon, it has a 60% chance of passing it down. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a female Pokémon bred with a male Pokémon has an 80% chance of passing down its Ability slot (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). From [[Generation VI]] onward, a female Pokémon has an 80% (60% for Hidden Ability) chance to pass down its Ability slot, regardless of whether it is bred with a male Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}}.

Since [[Generation VI]], it is possible for male and [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}) to pass down their Ability if bred with a Ditto, in which case it has a 60% chance to pass down its Hidden Ability. They cannot pass down a Hidden Ability when bred with any Pokémon other than Ditto. Ditto's Ability is always irrelevant to inheritance.

If an Egg does not inherit its Ability from a parent, it can only be born with one of its non-Hidden Abilities.

==Ability-related effects==
Various items, moves, and Abilities can affect a Pokémon's Ability, usually in battle.

==Alternatives==
===Generation II===
Prior to the introduction of Abilities, the [[Generation II]] games already featured a mechanic similar to {{a|Pickup}} and {{a|Honey Gather}} uniquely available to a single Pokémon species: after each battle, a {{i|Berry}} held by a {{p|Shuckle}} has a 1/16 chance of transforming into [[Berry Juice]]. No other Pokémon has this trait, and it has not returned in subsequent games.

===Generation VIII===
While Abilities are absent in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the effects of {{a|Flower Gift}} and {{a|Slow Start}} are nonetheless applied to {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Regigigas}} respectively. [[Plate]]s are also available as [[Key Item]]s to change {{p|Arceus}}'s form without {{a|Multitype}}.

===Generation IX===
While Abilities are absent in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], the effects of {{a|Stance Change}}, {{a|Disguise}}, and {{a|Hunger Switch}} are nonetheless applied to {{p|Aegislash}}, {{p|Mimikyu}}, and {{p|Morpeko}}, respectively. [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and Mega Medicham have higher Attack [[base stats]] than they do in other games to compensate for the absence of {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}. Any {{p|Zygarde}} in 10% Forme or 50% Forme whose HP has fallen below half will change into Complete Forme at the end of its turn, in a similar vein to {{a|Power Construct}}. If {{p|Dondozo}} is sent out in battle while {{p|Tatsugiri}} is in the party, Tatsugiri will be swallowed by Dondozo, raising all of Dondozo's stats and preventing it from switching out, in a similar vein to {{a|Commander}}.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Pokémon battle (Mystery_Dungeon)#Abilities|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics → Abilities}}

Abilities available in the core series games are also available in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Some Abilities differ from their counterparts in the core series (e.g. {{a|Intimidate}} reduces the opposing Pokémon's Attack by 20%). Prior to [[Gates to Infinity]], Pokémon with two Abilities would have both rather than just one. There are no Hidden Abilities in Mystery Dungeon games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest}}

While most Pokémon species in [[Pokémon Conquest]] have access to three Abilities (similar to the main series, Hidden Abilities included), many of these Abilities are different from the main series due to differences in the battle system. For example, Abilities like {{a|Cute Charm}} and {{a|Rivalry}} do not exist in Pokémon Conquest (due to the game's lack of a [[gender]] mechanic), while other Abilities utilize mechanics unique to Pokémon Conquest battles (like "Sprint", which increases the user's movement {{stat|Range}}).

Like the main series, an individual Pokémon's Ability is dictated by its current species (i.e. evolutionary form) and may change during [[Evolution]].

===Pokémon UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Abilities appear in a similar way to the main series. Every Pokémon with a Unite License uses one of their Abilities from the core series games as their Ability. A Pokémon's Ability can change when it evolves, such as {{p|Tyranitar}} having {{a|Guts}} as a {{p|Larvitar}} and {{a|Shed Skin}} as a {{p|Pupitar}} before gaining {{a|Sand Stream}} as a Tyranitar.

Abilities usually have effects that activate passively, be that when a certain condition is true, when the Pokémon performs a certain action, or when an action is done to that Pokémon. The effects of Abilities usually correlate to their main series counterparts, such as how {{p|Garchomp}}'s {{a|Rough Skin}} deals damage to opponents who hit it with [[physical move|physical]] melee attacks. However, this is not always the case, as {{p|Mewtwo}}'s {{a|Pressure}} only serves to enable its [[Mega Evolution]] instead of having an effect that lines up with its main series effect of reducing [[PP]]. Even if two Pokémon have the same Ability, the effects of the Ability differ between each Pokémon. For example, both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Mew}} have {{a|Synchronize}}, but Gardevoir's version inflicts any movement speed decreases and damage-over-time [[status condition]]s back on the attacker while Mew's version increases the movement speed of itself and its allies when Mew uses a [[move]]. Even so, often Abilities with the same name have similar effects since they are all adapted from the same Ability from the core series. {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Cinderace}}, and {{p|Delphox}} all have {{a|Blaze}} for instance, and it always serves to increase their power when their health is low. However, each Pokémon's Blaze does so in a different way.

Abilities often have multiple effects aside from adapting the main series Abilities. These effects can fill gauges or give the Pokémon resources that contribute to the effectiveness of its other attacks and [[move]]s. Many Abilities that trigger as a result of something happening, such as {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{a|Static}} activating when it takes damage, cannot trigger again until a cooldown period has passed.

In some cases, like with {{p|Zoroark}}'s {{a|Illusion}} and {{p|Hoopa}}'s {{a|Magician}}, an Ability's icon is visible along with the Pokémon's moves and is manually activated with a button press. These Abilities temporarily enter a cooldown state after being used, and cannot be used again until that cooldown concludes.

[[File:Harrison Kecleon Color Change.png|thumb|250px|{{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Kecleon}} activating {{a|Color Change}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Abilities have been shown in {{aniseries|PTS}}, but are usually only used in {{pkmn|battle}}s; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as {{TP|Ash|Infernape}}'s {{a|Blaze}}. Abilities sometimes work [[Differences between the Pokémon games and animated series|differently in the animated series than they would in the games]], such as {{a|Mold Breaker}}, which cancels out more Abilities in the animated series than it would in the games.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
The only Ability that was seen in the [[original series]] was {{a|Color Change}}, being used by [[Madison and Alexa]]'s {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''. It was later used by {{jo|Harrison}}'s Kecleon in ''[[EP271|Playing With Fire!]]''.

===={{aniseries|AG}}====
The first Ability to be seen other than {{a|Color Change}} was {{a|Rough Skin}}, first seen in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. It was used by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}.

In ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'' a Kecleon used {{a|Color Change}}.

In ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]'', [[Alanna]]'s {{p|Whismur}} used its {{a|Soundproof}} Ability to stay awake and listen to {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing|song}}.

[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} used {{a|Wonder Guard}} to protect itself against {{m|Spike Cannon}} by [[Misty's Corsola]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''.
[[File:Colonel Hansen Shedinja Wonder Guard.png|thumb|250px|[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} activating {{a|Wonder Guard}}]]
Two Abilities were seen in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', being used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Grovyle}}, using {{a|Static}} and {{a|Overgrow}} respectively.

[[Bart]]'s {{p|Castform}} used {{a|Forecast}} in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', turning into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|Sunny and Rainy Form]].

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', [[Marcel]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}} possessed {{a|Vital Spirit}}, which prevented it from falling asleep while fighting a {{p|Snorlax}} that kept using {{m|Yawn}}.

Both {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Drought}} were seen in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' respectively by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}.

In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', [[Liza's Lunatone]] used {{a|Levitate}}.

In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Luvdisc}} used {{a|Swift Swim}} to increase its speed.

In ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'', [[Kimmy Shoney|Kimmy]]'s {{p|Linoone}}, Tokin, used {{a|Pickup}} to steal and take items to its private stash, including {{an|May}}'s Poké Balls.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Hariyama}} used {{a|Thick Fat}} to halve the damage it took from [[Ash's Torkoal]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'', [[Lisa Mitchum]]'s {{p|Jigglypuff}} used {{a|Cute Charm}} whilst her [[Mitch Mitchum|father]]'s {{p|Loudred}} used Soundproof to stop Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing}} from working.

[[Angela]]'s Kecleon used Color Change in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', while [[Brock's Bonsly]] used {{a|Rock Head}}.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', a wild {{p|Wooper}} used {{a|Water Absorb}}.

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', [[May's Blaziken]] used its Blaze Ability while [[Ash's Sceptile]] used {{a|Overgrow}} during their [[Contest Battle]] in the {{to|Terracotta}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
Abilities proved important in the battles [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} had with [[Roark]]. During Paul's battle in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} uses Static to {{status|paralyze}} Roark's {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Cranidos}} although the latter shakes it off with {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Paul also deliberately allows his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} to take extra damage so that it can activate Blaze. After Ash's first match with Roark ends in defeat, {{an|Brock}} briefly lends him {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' because its Ability Rock Head makes it similar to Roark's Pokémon Onix, who also had the Ability. During Ash's rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu also activates Static against Roark's newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} and it is similarly ineffective.

In ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]]'s {{p|Stunky}} used {{a|Stench}} against {{TRT}}.

[[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}} caught Ash by surprise during their first battle in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' when it was able to move very quickly with {{a|Chlorophyll}}.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Ash and Paul found themselves at a disadvantage during their first [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] because the {{p|Rhydon}} used by one of their opponents possessed {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} [[move|attacks]] useless.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} found Paul and {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|his other Pokémon}} evidently abusing his Chimchar, repeatedly attacking it until it eventually collapsed from exhaustion. When confronted, Paul explained that Chimchar actually wanted the brutal training regimen; when they first met, Chimchar was being attacked by wild {{p|Zangoose}} and when pushed to the limit it activated Blaze and defeated all of the Zangoose with {{m|Flame Wheel}}. This incredible power was what drove Paul to capture Chimchar in the first place and the two have been trying to replicate the experience ever since with no success.

{{a|Swift Swim}} was an important part of [[Ash's Buizel]] going toe to toe with [[Maylene's Lucario]] in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''

{{a|Blaze}} returned in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' when Ash's Chimchar became enraged during a battle with [[Paul's Ursaring]]. It took considerable effort for Ash to return Chimchar to normal after it defeated Ursaring, causing Paul to leave the battle a draw. Paul told Ash that they would only battle again when and if Ash and Chimchar learned to control Blaze.
[[File:Ash Monferno Blaze.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Monferno]] activating {{a|Blaze}}]]
In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}} activated his {{a|Cute Charm}} Ability while battling [[Dawn's Ambipom]] in the final round of the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

[[Brock's Croagunk]] first used his {{a|Anticipation}} Ability in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]''. He often used it to find Team Rocket and chase them off on his own.

Two {{p|Darkrai}} have used {{a|Bad Dreams}}. One used it in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and another in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]''.

In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist!]]'', [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Gengar}} possessed {{a|Levitate}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing with Defensive Types!]]'', [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} used its {{a|Heatproof}} Ability to minimize damage from [[Ash's Chimchar]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', [[Jessie's Yanmega]] activated her {{a|Speed Boost}} Ability while performing in the {{to|Chocovine}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', [[Paul's Honchkrow]] used its Ability {{a|Super Luck}}.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', [[Jeremiah]]'s {{p|Skuntank}} was known to have Stench as it Ability, but the Ability was activated off-screen.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', [[Paul's Magmortar]] used its {{a|Flame Body}} Ability to burn [[Ash's Pikachu]]. [[Paul's Ursaring]] also used its {{a|Guts}} Ability when [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{a|Static}} activated.

An {{p|Arceus}} used {{a|Multitype}} in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} used {{a|Solid Rock}} to lessen the damage from [[Ash's Grotle]]'s {{m|Energy Ball}}.

A wild {{p|Heatran}} used {{a|Flash Fire}} in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''.

[[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} used its {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'' against Ash in their [[Gym]] battle. The same Ability was later used by [[Paul's Electivire]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''.

In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', [[Barry's Empoleon]] activated its {{a|Torrent}} Ability while battling Paul's Electivire in the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Paul's {{p|Aggron}} used its {{a|Rock Head}} Ability in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' to avoid damage from its {{m|Double-Edge}} attack. In [[DP187|the next episode]], Paul's {{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Ninjask}} used {{a|Snow Cloak}} and Speed Boost, respectively.

{{a|Illusion}} was seen twice in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', being used by a {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} and {{OBP|Zorua|M13}}.

A wild {{p|Venipede}} used its {{a|Poison Point}} Ability to poison Ash in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''.

In ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'', {{an|Iris}} pointed out that {{AP|Roggenrola}} had the Ability Sturdy, implying that Roggenrola would receive less damage than a Pokémon normally would.
[[File:Alder Bouffalant Sap Sipper.png|thumb|250px|[[Alder]]'s {{p|Bouffalant}} activating {{a|Sap Sipper}}]]
[[Luke's Zorua]] often used Illusion to help [[Luke]] in making his movies. It was first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ability (TCG)}}
Abilities under the name of Abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to Abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some Abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers.

With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive Ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers were renamed to Abilities in {{TCG|Black and White}}, these distinctions were done away with.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Zygarde}} is the only Pokémon that has two standard Abilities but does not have a Hidden Ability.
* The unused Ability {{a|Cacophony}} was included in the coding for third-generation games as Ability #076 ({{a|Air Lock}} was #077). From the fourth generation, Cacophony was removed and Air Lock was renumbered as #076, with the new Abilities positioned from #077 onward.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Abilities, with a total of 76. [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with a total of 27.
* In Generation III, there is an unused Ability placeholder labeled as "-------" with the description "No special ability".
* Every Ability introduced in [[Generation VIII]] is a [[signature Ability]].
** Out of them, {{a|Stalwart}} is the only one to have been given to a Pokémon that debuted after the Ability itself, being {{p|Archaludon}}'s [[Hidden Ability]].

'''Paul's Honchkrow''' (Japanese: '''シンジのドンカラス''' ''Shinji's Dongkarasu'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Paul]].

==History==
[[File:Paul Murkrow.png|left|thumb|220px|As a {{p|Murkrow}}]]
Murkrow debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', where Paul used it in a {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]. It launched a {{m|Haze}}, which Garchomp easily dodged. It proved far too much of a lightweight to tackle Garchomp, as a collision between {{m|Sky Attack}} and Garchomp's {{m|Giga Impact}} knocked it out in one blow. Whilst it recovered with {{p|Weavile}}, {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, and {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}, Paul revealed that it was {{pkmn2|caught}} during his journey through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]].

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]'', Murkrow used {{m|Shadow Ball}} and Sky Attack to try to force Chimchar's {{a|Blaze}} to activate. In ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', it chased away a horde of {{p|Gligar}}.

It [[Evolution|evolved]] off-screen between ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' and ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. It battled [[Maylene]] in a flashback, easily defeating {{p|Meditite}} with Sky Attack, and then clashing with her {{p|Machoke}} and overpowering it.

In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', it battled {{AP|Turtwig}}. It charged up a Sky Attack, but the charge up time allowed Turtwig to hit with {{m|Energy Ball}}. Turtwig managed to dodge Sky Attack and {{m|Night Slash}}, but Honchkrow managed to reverse its angle and struck with another Night Slash. It also hit consecutive {{m|Aerial Ace}}s. Just then, Turtwig evolved into {{p|Grotle}}, but Paul and Honchkrow were undeterred and continued their onslaught of Aerial Ace, which Grotle was unable to dodge due to its drastically increased mass and reduced speed. Honchkrow powered up and struck with a Sky Attack, Grotle stumbling and allowing Honchkrow to strike. A final {{m|Dark Pulse}} was enough to finish off Grotle, severely damaging Grotle's self-esteem.
[[File:Paul Honchkrow Super Luck.png|thumb|left|220px|Super Luck activated]]
In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', Paul entered it in the [[Squallville PokéRinger]] competition. It was immediately put up against the reigning champion, [[Provo]] and his {{p|Dragonite}}. However, Paul and Honchkrow immediately proved to be deadly opponents as Honchkrow outflew Dragonite at every turn and dodged its powerful {{m|Fire Punch}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. It managed to get the ring before Dragonite, but dropped it when Dragonite's {{m|Dragon Rush}} landed a hit. Both Pokémon raced for the ring; Honchkrow got it first and flew for the goal. As Dragonite prepared another Dragon Rush, Paul had Honchkrow ride the wind and land a Sky Attack, which knocked out Dragonite thanks to Honchkrow's {{a|Super Luck}} Ability. With a knockout, Paul won the round easily. It was also shown defeating a {{p|Swellow}} and [[Steveland]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} to reach the final.
[[File:Ash Staraptor vs Paul Honchkrow.png|thumb|220px|Honchkrow vs Staraptor]]
In the final round, it battled [[Ash's Staravia]], who managed to beat it to the ring. However, Honchkrow attacked with Sky Attack and overpowered Staravia's {{m|Brave Bird}}, but Staravia managed to hold onto the ring and recovered. Honchkrow tried again to get the ring with a Dark Pulse, but Staravia once again kept hold of it. Riding the wind, Honchkrow struck with Aerial Ace and took possession of the ring but lost it again when Staravia used Quick Attack to steal it straight out of Honchkrow's beak. Honchkrow struck with a Sky Attack and then, anticipating that Ash would counter with Quick Attack, Paul ordered Honchkrow to dodge and flatten Staravia with a Night Slash.

As Honchkrow prepared a Sky Attack to finish Staravia, it evolved into {{p|Staraptor}} and reclaimed the ring. Honchkrow managed to knock the ring out of Staraptor's beak, and stalled Staraptor by using Night Slash. However, Honchkrow took a beating from Staraptor's newly learned {{m|Close Combat}} and the two clashed with Sky Attack and Brave Bird once more. Staraptor managed to recover quicker this time and chased Honchkrow to the ring. Just as Honchkrow was about to close its beak on the ring, Staraptor swatted the ring onto the goal with his wing, meaning that Honchkrow came second. On the ground, Paul lay the blame for the loss on Honchkrow, saying that its response time was too slow.

It was used to battle Ash as Paul's fourth Pokémon in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', where it fought {{TP|Ash|Grotle}} again. Everyone knew that Ash putting Grotle up against Honchkrow to avenge its loss was a mistake, but Ash persisted. Shielded by {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}'s {{m|Light Screen}}, it managed to block the hit from {{m|Energy Ball}}. Honchkrow used Haze to blind Grotle and then hit with another Night Slash. When Grotle used {{m|Synthesis}}, Honchkrow used the delay to charge its Sky Attack, which crashed against {{m|Rock Climb}}. Honchkrow proved far more powerful and knocked Grotle out again.

In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', it was seen at Reggie's house, along with Torterra, {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and Weavile; they were all unhappy to hear that Paul had lost in the quarterfinals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Paul Honchkrow disappointed.png|thumb|left|220px|Honchkrow upset over disappointing Paul]]
[[File:Paul and Honchkrow.png|thumb|250px|Honchkrow and Paul]]
Honchkrow is considered to be the backbone of Paul's team since it has rarely ever failed him, except in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' as Murkrow where it lost in battle to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], and finally in ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'' where it lost the [[PokéRinger]] contest to [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Although Honchkrow shows the ruthlessness typical of its species and Paul's common attitude, the latter episode also showcased a sensitive side to Honchkrow, where it appeared openly upset to have let Paul down.

Its aerial prowess and strength were shown on several occasions, most notably during the [[Squallville PokéRinger]] competition, where it was able to take down the four-time defending champion's {{p|Dragonite}} in a single attack.

==Trivia==
* As Murkrow was featured in the opening [[Together]] for 37 weeks before its actual debut, there was a common misconception that Murkrow was received in a trade with the boy that Paul gave [[Paul#Given away|his Azumarill]] to in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]''. In fact, Murkrow was caught normally at some point during Paul's journey through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]].
* Two of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} evolved while battling Honchkrow: {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Staravia}}.

'''Latias''' (Japanese: '''ラティアス''' ''Latias'') is a [[List of recurring wild Pokémon (anime)|recurring Pokémon character in the anime]].

==History==
[[File:Ash and Latias JN.png|thumb|left|250px|Latias and Ash]]
Latias first appeared in ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]'', when she was hit by {{TRT}} who'd been sent blasting off. The impact sent Latias falling into a forest pond below, the crash-landing being heard by {{Ash}} and his Pokémon. Spotting Latias, Ash swam out to her and brought her to land with {{AP|Buizel}}'s help.

Using [[Potion]]s and bandages, Ash treated Latias's wounds and stood guard over her overnight. The next morning, Latias was captured by Team Rocket alongside Ash, though they both were soon freed by {{AP|Pikachu}}. After recovering, Latias flew off, but started to follow Ash whilst invisible.

In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', after {{an|Misty}} captured {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}}, Latias was seen invisibly watching.

Latias reappeared in [[Galar]] during the events of ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]''.

In ''[[JN140|Bearing Down Easy!]]'', Latias watched as Ash trained a wild {{p|Beartic}} to take control of its {{type|Ice}} powers.

In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Latias was seen again watching Ash and the [[Squirtle Squad]]'s actions to put out a fire in [[Vermilion City]].

In ''[[JN142|The Same Moon, Now and Forever!]]'', Latias saved Ash and Pikachu from falling into a river, but left before they could realize how they were saved.

Latias was seen again in ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', where she was seen accompanying Ash and his Pokémon's rescue operation of a trapped {{p|Wailord}}.

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', Latias was seen again when she observed Ash and his friends helping a lost {{p|Banette}} reunite with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Latias watched as Team Rocket ambushed Pikachu and managed to alert Ash to the trouble he was in. Latias watched as Ash saved a {{p|Slakoth}}, before rescuing them. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, Latias showed Ash, Misty, and {{an|Brock}} a vision of a {{p|Latios}} in danger.

In ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios]]'', Latias led Ash and his friends to Latios, only for them to be attacked by a {{OBP|Pokémon hunter|JN146}} who was after the two {{pkmn|category|Eon Pokémon}}. While protecting Latios, Latias was turned to stone by the hunter's energy blaster. The hunter fled with Latias, but Ash was later able to rescue her and restore her to normal by having Pikachu destroy the hunter's device. After Ash and Latios had defeated the hunter's {{p|Hydreigon}}, Latias held him in place until [[Officer Jenny]] could arrest him. Latias subsequently bid farewell to Ash and left with Latios, arriving in [[Alto Mare]] sometime later.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Latias invisible anime.png|thumb|250px|Latias being invisible]]
At first, Latias was distrustful towards humans as she became scared and hostile to them. However, after seeing Ash and his Pokémon's selflessness, Latias was convinced that some humans are trustworthy. Since then, Latias started taking an interest in Ash as she begins following and observing him on his journeys whilst being invisible. In addition, Latias values Ash's safety as she would protect him from danger.

==Blurb==

On the way to Shalour City, Clemont suggests a Double Battle to help Ash train for his upcoming Gym battle. Ash's Froakie and Hawlucha team up against Clemont's Pokémon, but their battling styles are so different that they just aren't getting along. Ash is trying to teach them how to combine their attacks into a single move he calls Super Flying Cut when he's pulled into the woods by a ghostly forest Pokémon called Trevenant!

Hawlucha and Froakie work together to rescue Ash, and after Trevenant lets him go, he finds out why the Pokémon grabbed him in the first place. Team Rocket has caught two of Trevenant's Pokémon friends in an electrified net, and it needs Ash's help to rescue them. Pikachu's Iron Tail quickly sets the Pokémon free, and a perfect Super Flying Cut sends the villains blasting off again!

==Plot==
While {{ashfr}} watch on, {{Ash}} trains with {{AP|Froakie}} for their upcoming [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Korrina}}. Unexpectedly, a log descends down the waterfall and is about to hit {{AP|Pikachu}}, but Froakie saves him by using its newly learned {{m|Cut}}. Ash is thrilled, he congratulating Froakie on learning Cut and thanks it for saving Pikachu.
[[File:XY038 Ash VS Clemont.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash facing Clemont]]
Following on {{an|Clemont}}’s suggestion, Ash agrees to have a practice [[Double Battle]]. Clemont is about to call out his first Pokémon, but first, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} comes out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} ready to battle. Clemont also goes with {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. Ash decides that Froakie's partner will be {{AP|Hawlucha}}, who emerges in a prideful pose. Ash tells Hawlucha and Froakie to work together as a team, and before any battling begins Hawlucha holds out a fist to get a fist bump from Froakie. Froakie hesitates, but it does eventually give Hawlucha a fist bump before {{an|Bonnie}} calls for the battle to begin. Clemont goes first telling Chespin to use {{m|Tackle}} on Froakie and Clemont tells Bunnelby to use {{m|Double Slap}} on Hawlucha. Ash orders Froakie and Hawlucha to dodge. Hawlucha, however, doesn't dodge and just takes the Double Slap hits from Bunnelby. Ash is impressed to see Hawlucha testing Bunnlby's strength, but Froakie feels otherwise. Ash tells Froakie to use {{m|Bubble}} and Hawlucha to intercept with {{m|Karate Chop}}. Clemont commands Chespin to use {{m|Vine Whip}} while Bunnelby keeps using Double Slap. Both Bunnelby and Hawlucha take hits before Clemont then tells Bunnelby to use {{m|Mud Shot}} on Hawlucha. As Bunnelby gets ready, Ash orders Froakie to use {{m|Water Pulse}} on Bunnelby to help Hawlucha out. However, the intervention makes Hawlucha furious. With Ash’s team distracted, Clemont has Chespin use {{m|Pin Missile}}. Froakie dodges and the pins end up hitting Bunnelby instead, knocking him out in the process. Soon, Hawlucha gets so furious with Froakie that it uses {{m|High Jump Kick}} on it. Froakie retaliates with Cut, which strikes its ally. Next Hawlucha attempts to use {{m|Flying Press}} on Froakie, but gets confused because Froakie uses {{m|Double Team}}. Soon Ash breaks up the fight and tells Hawlucha and Froakie to stop, and the battle is called off.

Ash takes Froakie and Hawlucha away from the rest of the group and tells them they need to work together because they're on the same team. He comes up with a combo move for the two of them which he calls the "Super Flying Cut". It starts out with Froakie riding on Hawlucha's back, and then it jumps and uses Cut, and then Hawlucha finishes with Flying Press. Ash decides to start working on training, but Hawlucha stops Ash and tells him it thinks it and Froakie should make up for their argument first, and it extends its hand to Froakie attempting to apologize to it, but it turns away. Ash tells Froakie to make up with Hawlucha, but it still won't, and this causes more fighting between the two. Ash eventually manages to get the pair to work together, but training is cut short when Ash is dragged into the forest by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Trevenant}}. His friends hear the noise and rush over to see what's wrong.

Meanwhile, in the forest, Ash sees he's being carried away by Trevenant and scans it with his [[Pokédex]]. He tells Trevenant he'd never do anything to hurt the forest and yells at it to let him go. Hawlucha and Froakie see this and attempt to rescue their Trainer but they get caught in vines. They look at each other and growl angrily before looking in the opposite direction. Froakie begins swinging itself back and forth to try and shake loose from the vine, and Hawlucha does the same, but the two end up crashing into each other, causing them to argue once again, and this is enough to make the vines snap and free them. Froakie then sees [[Ash's hat]] on the ground and hands it to Hawlucha who puts the hat on its head. The pair recall Ash’s words and agree to work as a team to rescue Ash.

When the two find Ash, they begin to battle Trevenant. Froakie launches a barrage of frubbles, temporarily blinding Trevenant. Next Hawlucha attempts to use High Jump Kick, to which Ash explains that Trevenant is immune to {{type|Fighting}} [[move]]s because it's a {{type|Ghost}}. Trevenant approaches Hawlucha with a {{m|Shadow Claw}}, though Froakie stops it in its track with Bubble. Ash is freed as a result, and Hawlucha promptly returns Ash’s hat to him. Ash then calls for a Super Flying Cut combo, however, Froakie just manages to leap onto Hawlucha’s back. Though Hawlucha simply flies through the Ghost-type, without scoring any damage. Trevenant retaliates with two {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}s, but Ash is undeterred and vows to protect his friends. The show of determination leads Trevenant to forfeit, and it leads Ash, Hawlucha, and Froakie to a net where a wild {{p|Bonsly}} and {{p|Sudowoodo}} are being held. Ash now understands Trevenant's earlier aggression, so he attempts to free the two {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, but gets shocked by the net. Just then Pikachu and the others arrive on the scene. Ash explains the situation before having Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} to free the two from the net.

The celebration is short-lived as the culprits, {{TRT}} return to net Pikachu for themselves. A battle begins, and Ash has Hawlucha and Froakie battle Team Rocket. [[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]] uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Froakie and Hawlucha both dodge it. Froakie uses its Frubbles to blind Pumpkaboo as Hawlucha prepares to use Flying Press. But being part Ghost-type, Pumpkaboo is unaffected as Jessie states that Fighting-type moves won't work as Ash says he's one step ahead as Froakie uses a close-range Water Pulse on Pumpkaboo, knocking it out. After dodging [[James's Inkay]]'s {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Psybeam}}, Ash tells Hawlucha and Froakie to use "Super Flying Cut" and they get the combo perfect, knocking out Inkay. Before Team Rocket are about to leave, Trevenant pitches in with a {{m|Wood Hammer}} to smash the remote and free Pikachu from the net. Pikachu then blasts Team Rocket off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

With Froakie and Hawlucha having put their differences aside, Ash and his friends say goodbye to Trevenant, Bonsly, and Sudowoodo as they head off towards Ash's [[Shalour Gym]] battle.

'''Liko's Hattrem''' (Japanese: '''リコのテブリム''' ''Liko's Tebrim'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Liko]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Galar]] [[region]], and her second overall. She is often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] her {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Liko and Hattrem.png|thumb|250px|left|Hattrem and Liko]]
Hattrem debuted in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'' as a Hatenna. While seeking shelter from the rain at {{rt|3|Galar}}, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Friede]] entered a mountain hut, where they found Hatenna lying unconscious in a crate. Worried for her health, Liko had Hatenna receive a medical examination from [[Mollie]] on the [[Brave Olivine]]. Mollie deduced that Hatenna wasn't ill, but just feeling down. Liko volunteered to look after Hatenna, but the Calm Pokémon kept running away while trying to avoid the strong emotions of the ship's various residents.

Eventually, Liko found Hatenna on the observation deck. Sensing how calm Liko was, Hatenna felt comfortable enough to jump into Liko's hood and fall asleep. The following day, Liko, Roy, and Friede took Hatenna back to where she was found and attempted to release her back into the wild. Just as it started to leave, Hatenna was stopped by {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, who convinced her to stay. Liko happily accepted Hatenna's decision and {{pkmn2|Caught|caught}} her with a {{i|Poké Ball}} received from Friede.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Friede encountered a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} belonging to [[Lucius]] at the [[Galar Mine]]. Sensing the [[Legendary Pokémon]]'s rage, Hatenna shed a single tear. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko used Hatenna's earlier reaction to Moltres to determine the Malevolent Pokémon was actually sad and come up with a strategy to calm it down. Later, after Moltres returned to its ancient Poké Ball, Hatenna jumped out of Liko's hood and located the {{an|Terapagos|mysterious Pokémon}} that emerged from Liko's pendant.

In ''[[HZ028|The Stolen Treasure]]'', Liko, Roy, and Friede met with [[Tepen]] in order to get information about the {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}, but he tricked them then stole it. Hatenna realized too late Tepen's intentions, as she sensed his dark emotions, and failed to warn her Trainer about them. Fortunately, Liko and her friends found him out and then attempted to get the Ancient Poké Ball back from Tepen. After Liko and Sprigatito drove Tepen's {{p|Lampent}}'s and {{p|Bronzor}}'s attention, Hatenna noticed a shovel and used her telekinetic powers to lift it in order to get the bag that the Ancient Poké Ball was in away from the {{pkmn|category|Lamp Pokémon}} while Sprigatito made in an attempt to get it, but failed when Tepen showed up and had his Lampent grab it back by using {{m|Thief}}.

In [[HZ038]], Hatenna sensed what she believed was an injured {{p|Tandemaus}} and lead Liko and Mollie to it. After Mollie treated Tandemaus, Hatenna accompanied Liko and her friends to find Tandemaus's missing partner. Hatenna waited for Liko when she went to get the missing Tandemaus, but decided to take one of {{TP|Mollie|Chansey}}'s eggs to Liko so she can treat it. Upon arriving, Hatenna discovered that the Tandemaus is a family of {{p|Maushold}}. Hatenna then learned {{m|Heal Pulse}} and healed the remanding Maushold without using Chansey's egg.

In [[HZ053]], Hatenna healed a group of Trainers who looked similar to Liko, Roy and Dot. Later, Hatenna helped Liko sense a group of {{p|Primeape}} and {{p|Annihilape}}, and watched her Trainer battle them. After two rampaging Primeape evolved into Annihilape, Hatenna came out of Liko's hood to try to calm them down, but got scared instead. Having enough of their fighting, she evolved into {{p|Hattrem}} and defeated the three Annihilape, and then healed them with Heal Pulse.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Liko Hatenna exhausted.png|thumb|250px|Hatenna exhausted from picking up strong emotions]]
Hatenna, as true to her {{p|Hatenna|species}}, can pick up the emotions of both people and Pokémon. Hatenna has also shown to be relaxed when she is around calm emotions, but can get overwhelmed when people or Pokémon show strong emotions, especially if they are arguing or enraged, and would run away whenever they expressed those type of feelings. In addition, Hatenna would pass out from exhaustion whenever she is overwhelmed by strong emotions. Despite this, Hatenna's skills in picking up on emotions of others has helped her friends find lost individuals and if they have good or bad intentions. After evolving, she gained her species's usual trait of wanting to silence any strong emotions around her.
[[File:Hatenna Liko jacket.png|thumb|250px|left|Hatenna in Liko's hood]]
Hatenna is shy and sensitive, even when others tried to interact with her. Due to being shy around others, Hatenna would initially hide away whenever she tried to interact with people or Pokémon. However, Hatenna has undergone a slight personality change ever since joining [[Liko]]'s team, as she has slowly opened up in interacting with others, as shown in ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'' when she joined with some [[wild Pokémon]] in the [[Galar Mine]] in eating snacks. This was shown again in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when Hatenna and her friends played with a wild {{p|Drednaw}}. Hatenna has also become comfortable around people, especially around Liko's friends, as she was fine being held in [[Orla]]'s arms in [[HZ033]] and greeted [[Ann]] in [[HZ035]]. Like her Trainer, Hatenna has shown a brave side, especially if it's protecting her friends. After evolving, Hattrem became more confident in herself.
[[File:Floragato with Hatenna and Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|Hatenna with Floragato and Terapagos]]
Liko and Hatenna quickly bonded after meeting each other, as she became unwilling to leave her side when she attempted to return her to the wild. Her closeness to Liko has been shown when she would rest or sit in her hood, although she would sometimes sit on her Trainer's shoulders. Hatenna also feels safe around Liko because her Trainer has a calm disposition and doesn't usually show strong emotions, such as sorrow or anger. Unlike {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, Hatenna doesn't seem to get jealous of other Pokémon winning Liko's affection, as she knows that her Trainer cares about her and her friends all the same. After evolving into Hattrem, however, she became sad that she couldn't fit into Liko's hood anymore, but quickly accepted it.

Hatenna formed a close friendship with Sprigatito, as the Grass Cat Pokémon encouraged her to stay with Liko and immediately shook hands when they became teammates. Hatenna also seems to feel safe around Sprigatito and would calm down in her presences whenever their Trainer wasn't around, and looks up to her like an older sister. Her closeness to Sprigatito was also displayed in [[HZ040]], when she left the Brave Olivine with {{an|Terapagos}} to help Liko find her teammate, after she ran away. They maintain their friendship after they both evolved at different points. Ever since the events in [[HZ038]], Hatenna came to admire [[Mollie's Chansey]] and looks up to her for her ability to heal Pokémon.

'''Paul's Honchkrow''' (Japanese: '''シンジのドンカラス''' ''Shinji's Dongkarasu'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Paul]].

==History==
[[File:Paul Murkrow.png|left|thumb|220px|As a {{p|Murkrow}}]]
Murkrow debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', where Paul used it in a {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]. It launched a {{m|Haze}}, which Garchomp easily dodged. It proved far too much of a lightweight to tackle Garchomp, as a collision between {{m|Sky Attack}} and Garchomp's {{m|Giga Impact}} knocked it out in one blow. Whilst it recovered with {{p|Weavile}}, {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, and {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}, Paul revealed that it was {{pkmn2|caught}} during his journey through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]].

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]'', Murkrow used {{m|Shadow Ball}} and Sky Attack to try to force Chimchar's {{a|Blaze}} to activate. In ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', it chased away a horde of {{p|Gligar}}.

It [[Evolution|evolved]] off-screen between ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' and ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. It battled [[Maylene]] in a flashback, easily defeating {{p|Meditite}} with Sky Attack, and then clashing with her {{p|Machoke}} and overpowering it.

In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', it battled {{AP|Turtwig}}. It charged up a Sky Attack, but the charge up time allowed Turtwig to hit with {{m|Energy Ball}}. Turtwig managed to dodge Sky Attack and {{m|Night Slash}}, but Honchkrow managed to reverse its angle and struck with another Night Slash. It also hit consecutive {{m|Aerial Ace}}s. Just then, Turtwig evolved into {{p|Grotle}}, but Paul and Honchkrow were undeterred and continued their onslaught of Aerial Ace, which Grotle was unable to dodge due to its drastically increased mass and reduced speed. Honchkrow powered up and struck with a Sky Attack, Grotle stumbling and allowing Honchkrow to strike. A final {{m|Dark Pulse}} was enough to finish off Grotle, severely damaging Grotle's self-esteem.
[[File:Paul Honchkrow Super Luck.png|thumb|left|220px|Super Luck activated]]
In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', Paul entered it in the [[Squallville PokéRinger]] competition. It was immediately put up against the reigning champion, [[Provo]] and his {{p|Dragonite}}. However, Paul and Honchkrow immediately proved to be deadly opponents as Honchkrow outflew Dragonite at every turn and dodged its powerful {{m|Fire Punch}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. It managed to get the ring before Dragonite, but dropped it when Dragonite's {{m|Dragon Rush}} landed a hit. Both Pokémon raced for the ring; Honchkrow got it first and flew for the goal. As Dragonite prepared another Dragon Rush, Paul had Honchkrow ride the wind and land a Sky Attack, which knocked out Dragonite thanks to Honchkrow's {{a|Super Luck}} Ability. With a knockout, Paul won the round easily. It was also shown defeating a {{p|Swellow}} and [[Steveland]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} to reach the final.
[[File:Ash Staraptor vs Paul Honchkrow.png|thumb|220px|Honchkrow vs Staraptor]]
In the final round, it battled [[Ash's Staravia]], who managed to beat it to the ring. However, Honchkrow attacked with Sky Attack and overpowered Staravia's {{m|Brave Bird}}, but Staravia managed to hold onto the ring and recovered. Honchkrow tried again to get the ring with a Dark Pulse, but Staravia once again kept hold of it. Riding the wind, Honchkrow struck with Aerial Ace and took possession of the ring, but lost it again when Staravia used Quick Attack to steal it straight out of Honchkrow's beak. Honchkrow struck with a Sky Attack and then, anticipating that Ash would counter with Quick Attack, Paul ordered Honchkrow to dodge and flatten Staravia with a Night Slash.

As Honchkrow prepared a Sky Attack to finish Staravia, it evolved into {{p|Staraptor}} and reclaimed the ring. Honchkrow managed to knock the ring out of Staraptor's beak, and stalled Staraptor by using Night Slash. However, Honchkrow took a beating from Staraptor's newly learned {{m|Close Combat}} and the two clashed with Sky Attack and Brave Bird once more. Staraptor managed to recover quicker this time and chased Honchkrow to the ring. Just as Honchkrow was about to close its beak on the ring, Staraptor swatted the ring onto the goal with his wing, meaning that Honchkrow came second. On the ground, Paul lay the blame for the loss on Honchkrow, saying that its response time was too slow.

It was used to battle Ash as Paul's fourth Pokémon in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', where it fought {{TP|Ash|Grotle}} again. Everyone knew that Ash putting Grotle up against Honchkrow to avenge its loss was a mistake, but Ash persisted. Shielded by {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}'s {{m|Light Screen}}, it managed to block the hit from {{m|Energy Ball}}. Honchkrow used Haze to blind Grotle and then hit with another Night Slash. When Grotle used {{m|Synthesis}}, Honchkrow used the delay to charge its Sky Attack, which crashed against {{m|Rock Climb}}. Honchkrow proved far more powerful and knocked Grotle out again.

In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', it was seen at Reggie's house, along with Torterra, {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and Weavile; they were all unhappy to hear that Paul had lost in the quarterfinals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Paul Honchkrow disappointed.png|thumb|left|220px|Honchkrow upset over disappointing Paul]]
[[File:Paul and Honchkrow.png|thumb|250px|Honchkrow and Paul]]
Honchkrow is considered to be the backbone of Paul's team since it has rarely ever failed him, except in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' as Murkrow where it lost in battle to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], and finally in ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'' where it lost the [[PokéRinger]] contest to [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Although Honchkrow shows the ruthlessness typical of its species and Paul's common attitude, the latter episode also showcased a sensitive side to Honchkrow, where it appeared openly upset to have let Paul down.

Its aerial prowess and strength were shown on several occasions, most notably during the [[Squallville PokéRinger]] competition, where it was able to take down the four-time defending champion's {{p|Dragonite}} in a single attack.

==Trivia==
* As Murkrow was featured in the opening [[Together]] for 37 weeks before its actual debut, there was a common misconception that Murkrow was received in a trade with the boy that Paul gave [[Paul#Given away|his Azumarill]] to in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]''. In fact, Murkrow was caught normally at some point during Paul's journey through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]].
* Two of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} evolved while battling Honchkrow: {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Staravia}}.

Dragon Cheer (move)

DarkMatterMan4500: Nope, not a sound-based move at all. I literally tested it out, and nope, it turned out to not be the case.

'''Dragon Cheer''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴンエール''' ''Dragon Yell'') is a non-damaging {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is [[TM226]] in Generation IX.

==Effect==
Dragon Cheer increases the user's allies' [[critical hit]] ratio by one stage. If the user's allies have the {{t|Dragon}} type, the critical hit ratio is increased by two stages instead. The effects of Dragon Cheer can be removed by switching, and can be copied by {{m|Psych Up}} or {{m|Transform}}.

The move will fail if there is no adjacent ally, or if the ally is already under the effects of {{m|Focus Energy}} or Dragon Cheer.

Dragon Cheer's effects apply based on the allies' type upon use of the move, and do not change if the allies' type changes later in battle.

===Other effects===
A {{p|Dipplin}} that knows this move will [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Hydrapple}} when leveled up.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Dragon}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|The user raises its allies’ morale with a draconic cry so that their future attacks have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This rouses Dragon types more.

== Stage Data ==

Got a source for all that? Presuming there was another data rip showing it that I haven't seen yet. I'm still adding the Pokémon to the other list, but we're missing the skills and rest periods, and some types (for dual types) may also be wrong and need updating. I'll finish that list and update the ones I've caught in my game this evening and we can go from there. Also guessing the missions are a different text file, but maybe we can interpolate what goes where from that later if it's found. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:54, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
:Serebii's list seems to be accurate so far, so I've placed them as placeholders. If there are any inaccuracies along the way as we confirm the info, simple edits could be done. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:07, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

== Stage Data ==

I have news for you. I just got someone to do a data rip and it turns out there are missions for ALT World stages. So what we're doing for 1-30 right now we have to do again for 1-30 in the Alt World.

I am not sure what the total Picrite rewards are, but seeing that data tells me that we have more than enough to earn back in the Alt World. I'm going to clear through Area 10 and then I might think about moving into there after reviewing the missions for Alt World to see if I can do all of them. The missions include things like "avoid setting any legendary or mythical Pokémon" and "avoid setting any Pokémon", though some have things like "avoid using any reveal skills". Since there is likely a time goal, and likely the fourth for doing all missions, it suggests there are 6 Picrites possible per stage again, meaning for an average of 7 Pokémon per area, over 10 areas (I know, one has three, one has five...work with me here), you're still looking at a possible 6*7*10=420 Picrites just for those 70 possible stages. 300 for Alt World now seems like a worthwhile investment.

Going to post this finding at GameFAQs right now, in fact. I've asked for editing power over the sheet so that I can decode everything, after which I can copy every single task in. Continue as you are for now, and I'll start from the back, eventually working over to Alt World. After you reach where I add to, all you have to do when I'm done is verify that I didn't code anything incorrectly when entering the goals and I'll do the same in both worlds as well.

Also sharing this news with Raltseye. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:25, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
:Sounds good; mind sending over the data rip so I can help input the missions? [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 07:55, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

== Move pages convention ==

To answer [[Special:Diff/2541197|your question]], changing the template used (so in this case, going from [[Template:Moveentry/6]] to [[Template:Moveentry/7]]) while not inserting any value for the Generation VII section will indicate that the move is unable to be learned by that method (in this case, leveling up) in that generation (VII). In other words, you did it correctly. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 13:53, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

== Generation VII learnsets ==

When updating to Generation VII learnsets, please remember that some moves [[List of modified moves|have been modified]], such as moves as common as Tackle. Please fix whatever you missed accordingly, and remember this for the future. Thanks! --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 15:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:Will take note, thanks! [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 15:35, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
::Another note: if you are going to update Generation VII, you must also search for new species that can learn the moves. It's leaving work for us to go back and complete later. Also, I found that the data you added at {{m|Power Whip}} remained hidden despite your adding it because you forgot to change the 3 to a 4 in each row. These little things cause us to have to revisit the page later to further update data. While I am visiting every page to verify the information anyway, please try to get it right before I get there so all I have to do is check it against my list and delete it from that list, thus letting me move on faster. Thanks! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:44, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Actually, on further glance, it appears my attempt to edit at Power Whip and clicking to edit as someone else saved an edit might be the cause of that mixup. Beat me by about two minutes, he did. XD Even so, the point about adding new species stands, so please try to do that. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:46, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Was there an instance where what I updated wasn't complete? :O I use a verified pastebin as reference and as far as I know, I've been adding Gen VII mons that learn the moves too. Either way, I will try to be more careful next time. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 14:39, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::I think I covered a couple of cases, but one from yesterday was missing Togedemaru at {{m|Present}} (see [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Present_%28move%29&type=revision&diff=2550607&oldid=2540986 diff]). No worries, it happens, I'm just reminding you to check, nothing more. =) [https://paste.ee/r/zYMUr This] is one of the sources I check, but also I have a document from another staff member that created the lists for each Pokémon; I use that for my breed data. My learnset data sheet I created myself using something from OR/AS and modifying it to manually add the level-up move data and note anything that has changed.

== Creating new articles ==

When you create new articles by copypasting and editing an existing similar article, please remember to change or remove anything that is not true for the new article ''before'' pressing the save page button. The new Z-move articles you created had more than five things that were only true for Clangorous Soulblaze.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:05, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
:Apologies. It was my first time making new articles on Bulba. I'll keep that in mind next time around. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 17:12, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

== Linking ==

Please make sure that you use the proper link template when linking to certain articles. Any article for a Pokemon species should use <nowiki>{{p|this}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[this]]</nowiki>. The welcome template at the top of your talk page contains a handy link if you need more clarification. Thank you. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 17:37, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
:Understood. Thanks for the reminder. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 17:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

:::Apologies. I'll take a closer look at the templates. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 14:21, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

== Userspace pages ==

Please do not create userspace pages and then just paste their content into a mainspace page. Pages should not be duplicated like that, that's what the move function is for.

If you've also asked about a topic like this on a talk page, just because no one answers doesn't mean it's okay to just go ahead with whatever you were thinking. Especially in a case like this where there are already substantial pages. If you want an answer that you haven't gotten, ''ask someone directly''.

Oftentimes in a case like this your edits would be reverted, but in this case since the item projects ''is'' ongoing, for the time being, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
:Oh ok, the move function wasn't working for me because the Fossil pages redirected to existing pages already. I'll also be contacting users directly in the future.

:By the way, since I've gotten your attention, do you have any thoughts on the fossil pages splitting? I feel the previous ones were hard to sift through, and do benefit from the new item template. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 03:14, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

...Did you forget so easily what I told you here? I've noticed you creating userspace pages, but I just now noticed that you've edited, for instance, [[Resist Wing]] with the code you had in one of your userspace pages, as well as many others. Looking back a couple days, it looks like you did the same with [[X Attack]], and I'm seriously wondering whether there was any item page you've created since the message above that you don't also have a duplicate for in your mainspace...

Do. Not. Do. That.

Either just make pages in the mainspace, or ask for them to be moved if you can't do it yourself. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:06, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
:The item pages already exist as redirects, and so simply moving them is not possible. I've taken the precedence of the big [[Potion]], [[Protein]], [[Ether]], etc. edits as example that pasting code for splitting is ok.
:Those item pages were created by me, using current item templates and checking on each of the locations for accuracy. As for the userspace pages, I leave them there because there can be lots of minor edits that I and a few others tend to make (especially for items where location confirmation is important) before they're moved to mainspace, so as to not unnecessarily clog up its history. Recently I've been moving the code if the page seems to be complete, being more and more used to the kind of content the item pages need. If the issue is that I have duplicates on my userspace because they've been moved, I can delete them from my userspace easy.
:Would love to hear your thoughts on this, as contacting some others on their respective userspace pages (like you said I should) often go with 0 responses. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 16:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
::I fear we're not clear here, so let me repeat. '''Do not''' create a userpage and just copy its code into a mainspace page. Okay? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:02, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
:::Alright. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 23:33, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

== Splitting pages ==

Splitting pages requires approval from an Editorial Board member, and also requires more than just copying and pasting data. The fossil pages will be split at some point along with other item pages that are suggested for a split.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:59, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
:Gotcha. Thanks for responding. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:01, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

== Some suggestions ==

#It doesn't matter for the readers, but for the editors of Bulbapedia, try to also consider edit histories when helping with the items; it is convenient to be able to trace where some information originally came from. Simply put: raw cut-and-paste is rarely wise, moving pages (mentioned above) is usually preferred where applicable. Also, if you change redirects to the full item pages, it may be wise to mention in the edit summary where that information came from (it may save us from [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#Focus Energy|issues like that]], even if they may occur rarely).
#I believe on location pages etc., item names should be displayed the way they're displayed in that game (or the most recent one, if it's more than one game). Not sure if what I noticed was just a typo or oversight on your part, but obviously, it helps to watch others' edits, and try to figure out why they do what they do.
#Please [[Bulbapedia:Categories|categorize]] pages properly. In particular, there should be ''no'' [[Special:UncategorizedPages|mainspace articles without any category]].
#Please pay more attention to the interwiki links at the bottom of pages. If you just leave them empty, they will create interwiki links regardless (in the sidebar, in desktop view), but to the wikis' main pages! Ideally, fill them with relevant pages, or else at least make sure they don't link somewhere they shouldn't. (Tip: If you found one relevant article in another wiki, you can usually copy the other links from that page.)
#I'd like to help with the fossil pages. You seem to have used Old Amber for the format, but I think that format is not ideal. (Also, I noticed some copypastas etc.) How about this: I edit the Helix Fossil, then you see what you think improves the page and synchronize the other fossils? (If you don't like a thing I do, just change it.) I'll try to see if they can be mainspaced, then.
Alright, I think that's it. Keep it up! [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:23, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong and not many people have told me so or otherwise. I'll definitely keep these in mind when editing other pages. I'm still relatively new to the Wikipedia system of things, and I apologize for my mistakes.
:That being said, I'd appreciate the help with the fossil pages! I'm not familiar with the code at all (as you could tell from the Old Amber format haha), so it'd be swell if you could edit it the way you see fit. I don't mind handling the synchronization to the other fossil pages. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 10:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
::It's OK, we're all still learning.
::I've edited Helix Fossil. Notice how I hid categories and interwikis while it's still in the userspace. :P
::Also, note that <nowiki>{{mainspace|status=complete}}</nowiki> indicates a page is finished and ready to be moved to mainspace. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:16, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:::Looks good. I've also changed the game locations up a bit so it's implied to be obtainable in other games, but through trade. If that change doesn't bother you I can start syncing up the other fossil pages to the Helix Fossil.
:::Btw, I've also taken the liberty to list down other things that might need updating/improving on my user page. I'd appreciate if you could take a look and see if my ideas are worth putting effort into haha. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 00:03, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
::::I'm just another editor, so even if it did bother me a little (which it doesn't), feel free to ignore that. One thing I will note, though, is that some of the removed information may be helpful, in particular that there's a choice between the Helix and the Dome Fossil (such that, for example, you cannot obtain both in the same save file without trade). I think I probably would've have kept that. Anyway, could you edit the table at [[Old Amber]] the way you see fits?
::::In my opinion, everything that's on your to-do list seems reasonable. My latest information on Poké Balls is that [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#Template:BerryInfobox|their on hold]], and/because they're hard to handle. Also, I don't see the evobox as a top priority; I haven't really made up my mind on the proposed change, to be honest, and/but I believe Mega Evolution is fundamentally different than Evolution. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:46, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::Oh Tiddlywinks made the edit removing that information (see latest edit on the Helix Fossil page), I just followed that direction on the Dome Fossil page. I'll fix up Old Amber to mirror the changes so far.
:::::For the evobox, the justification is that Mega evos are different temporary forms, just like what Castform, Cherrim, and Necrozma have on theirs. If those mons have theirs listed in their evoboxes, it only seems necessary to include Mega evos too, since they work similarly. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 17:14, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
::::::I saw that, and I assumed you agreed when you spread that. I see that logic (in general), but as I said, I probably would've kept at least that choice part (or, restore rather than spread it), but I may not be the most knowledgable person on that. Same as for the evobox. ;) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:28, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::::I assumed it was for the best since Tiddlywinks probably has better judgement than I do haha. If you deem it best to restore that, feel free to do so :D [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 17:45, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Remember my very first point? Or what Tiddlywinks said above? You could have waited for a staff member with the proper rights to do both Bottle Cap pages properly (like I had already asked SnorlaxMonster to), or, even all on your own, you should at least have had the opportunity to move Gold Bottle Cap and all Mulch articles properly with the move function. While I appreciate your efforts, please do keep this in mind for the future. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:32, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::Oh ok. I'm actually confused as to how the move function works because it doesn't seem to work when the page already exists (even as a redirect). The way I've seen it done in precedents is copying and pasting the data on the redirect page, and so I thought that was the only way around that. Please enlighten me if this is not the case. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 15:30, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
{{indent}}To my knowledge, if moving involves deleting a page, you need someone with <code>delete</code> to do it (Administrator or above). The exception is if the page to be deleted (i.e. where it is moved onto) is a redirect page ''that has no history'' (apart from the one revision that created the redirect), then anyone can do it. Either way, you can't move without creating a redirect (which is deleting where you moved it from). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:36, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
:That's odd. I've tried multiple times moving pages onto "no history" redirect pages, and it still says that the page already exists and I can't perform the function. I might just be missing something though. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 15:41, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

== Wrong game for Pokedex entries ==

When you're adding a Pokedex entry, make sure you're connecting it with correct game. All LGPE entries added by you are leading to "Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee", but correct name is "Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!", ergo - you're redlinking a lot. [[User:Asmod96|Asmod96]] ([[User talk:Asmod96|talk]]) 15:09, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
:In my defense, the template only accepts Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee as correct input. I started adding them in like that when I saw a regular editor add the Rattata entry, and I followed suit seeing that it appeared to be correct.
:There isn't a way to correct this at the moment, the template itself is wrong.
:As temporary solution, I redirected the dead link to the actual game. This should service until the template is fixed. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 16:10, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
::Oh, I understand. Sorry in that case. [[User:Asmod96|Asmod96]] ([[User talk:Asmod96|talk]]) 16:40, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
:::All good. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 16:45, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

== Berry redirect pages ==

If I recall correctly, it was {{user|Lady Ariel}} who said that the Silver and Gold Berries from Let's Go should have their own pages. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:35, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
:Oh, alright. I guess we can just have the redirect there as placeholder for when those pages are eventually created (y'know, just to avoid redlinks).
:Also, I think they'd be better off under a Varieties section under the same page (since they have similar effects in Let's Go, count as berries but would allow the Berry numbering to still be followed), along with a bunch of other changes that I think the berry pages can benefit from. You can find 'em on the message I left on ForceFire's talk page a few days ago. Would be great if you could help out once that's approved. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 15:40, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
::Yeah. I saw that talk myself already too. I'd be glad to help when it's approved. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:50, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

== LGPE edit trivia thingie ==

Uh, so hi. On this (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ability) page it says that abilities where added in gen 3, instead of Pokémon Crystal. If you're really sure that isn't right just go edit it. But I'ma just edit that back to gen 3.

And also thank you for editing to hyperlink stuff! {{unsigned|SeeYaLater}}
:The phrase "To not feature [thing] since [game]" means that the game is the last of the series to not have the feature (see the one about GTS and breeding, those were introduced in DP and Gen 2 respectively, the last games before those were Emerald and Yellow).

You [[Special:Diff/3882088|said]] that Dragon Cheer isn't a sound-based move? It said in the move description "The user raises its allies’ morale with a draconic cry so that their future attacks have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This rouses Dragon types more.", so I thought it'd be a sound-based move based on the fact it said that a draconic cry helps boost their allies' attacks. --[[User:DarkMatterMan4500|DarkMatterMan4500]] ([[User talk:DarkMatterMan4500|talk]]) 14:59, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

== Stage Data ==

Got a source for all that? Presuming there was another data rip showing it that I haven't seen yet. I'm still adding the Pokémon to the other list, but we're missing the skills and rest periods, and some types (for dual types) may also be wrong and need updating. I'll finish that list and update the ones I've caught in my game this evening and we can go from there. Also guessing the missions are a different text file, but maybe we can interpolate what goes where from that later if it's found. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:54, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
:Serebii's list seems to be accurate so far, so I've placed them as placeholders. If there are any inaccuracies along the way as we confirm the info, simple edits could be done. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:07, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

== Stage Data ==

I have news for you. I just got someone to do a data rip and it turns out there are missions for ALT World stages. So what we're doing for 1-30 right now we have to do again for 1-30 in the Alt World.

I am not sure what the total Picrite rewards are, but seeing that data tells me that we have more than enough to earn back in the Alt World. I'm going to clear through Area 10 and then I might think about moving into there after reviewing the missions for Alt World to see if I can do all of them. The missions include things like "avoid setting any legendary or mythical Pokémon" and "avoid setting any Pokémon", though some have things like "avoid using any reveal skills". Since there is likely a time goal, and likely the fourth for doing all missions, it suggests there are 6 Picrites possible per stage again, meaning for an average of 7 Pokémon per area, over 10 areas (I know, one has three, one has five...work with me here), you're still looking at a possible 6*7*10=420 Picrites just for those 70 possible stages. 300 for Alt World now seems like a worthwhile investment.

Going to post this finding at GameFAQs right now, in fact. I've asked for editing power over the sheet so that I can decode everything, after which I can copy every single task in. Continue as you are for now, and I'll start from the back, eventually working over to Alt World. After you reach where I add to, all you have to do when I'm done is verify that I didn't code anything incorrectly when entering the goals and I'll do the same in both worlds as well.

Also sharing this news with Raltseye. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:25, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

To answer [[Special:Diff/2541197|your question]], changing the template used (so in this case, going from [[Template:Moveentry/6]] to [[Template:Moveentry/7]]) while not inserting any value for the Generation VII section will indicate that the move is unable to be learned by that method (in this case, leveling up) in that generation (VII). In other words, you did it correctly. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 13:53, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

== Generation VII learnsets ==

When updating to Generation VII learnsets, please remember that some moves [[List of modified moves|have been modified]], such as moves as common as Tackle. Please fix whatever you missed accordingly, and remember this for the future. Thanks! --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 15:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:Will take note, thanks! [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 15:35, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
::Another note: if you are going to update Generation VII, you must also search for new species that can learn the moves. It's leaving work for us to go back and complete later. Also, I found that the data you added at {{m|Power Whip}} remained hidden despite your adding it because you forgot to change the 3 to a 4 in each row. These little things cause us to have to revisit the page later to further update data. While I am visiting every page to verify the information anyway, please try to get it right before I get there so all I have to do is check it against my list and delete it from that list, thus letting me move on faster. Thanks! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:44, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Actually, on further glance, it appears my attempt to edit at Power Whip and clicking to edit as someone else saved an edit might be the cause of that mixup. Beat me by about two minutes, he did. XD Even so, the point about adding new species stands, so please try to do that. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:46, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Was there an instance where what I updated wasn't complete? :O I use a verified pastebin as reference and as far as I know, I've been adding Gen VII mons that learn the moves too. Either way, I will try to be more careful next time. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 14:39, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::I think I covered a couple of cases, but one from yesterday was missing Togedemaru at {{m|Present}} (see [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Present_%28move%29&type=revision&diff=2550607&oldid=2540986 diff]). No worries, it happens, I'm just reminding you to check, nothing more. =) [https://paste.ee/r/zYMUr This] is one of the sources I check, but also I have a document from another staff member that created the lists for each Pokémon; I use that for my breed data. My learnset data sheet I created myself using something from OR/AS and modifying it to manually add the level-up move data and note anything that has changed.

== Creating new articles ==

When you create new articles by copypasting and editing an existing similar article, please remember to change or remove anything that is not true for the new article ''before'' pressing the save page button. The new Z-move articles you created had more than five things that were only true for Clangorous Soulblaze.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:05, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
:Apologies. It was my first time making new articles on Bulba. I'll keep that in mind next time around. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 17:12, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

== Linking ==

Please make sure that you use the proper link template when linking to certain articles. Any article for a Pokemon species should use <nowiki>{{p|this}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[this]]</nowiki>. The welcome template at the top of your talk page contains a handy link if you need more clarification. Thank you. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 17:37, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
:Understood. Thanks for the reminder. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 17:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
::[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Alola_Route_8&curid=218298&diff=2734817&oldid=2731534 You did it again.] Please make sure to check these. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 13:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
:::Apologies. I'll take a closer look at the templates. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 14:21, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

== Userspace pages ==

Please do not create userspace pages and then just paste their content into a mainspace page. Pages should not be duplicated like that, that's what the move function is for.

If you've also asked about a topic like this on a talk page, just because no one answers doesn't mean it's okay to just go ahead with whatever you were thinking. Especially in a case like this where there are already substantial pages. If you want an answer that you haven't gotten, ''ask someone directly''.

Oftentimes in a case like this your edits would be reverted, but in this case since the item projects ''is'' ongoing, for the time being, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
:Oh ok, the move function wasn't working for me because the Fossil pages redirected to existing pages already. I'll also be contacting users directly in the future.

:By the way, since I've gotten your attention, do you have any thoughts on the fossil pages splitting? I feel the previous ones were hard to sift through, and do benefit from the new item template. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 03:14, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

...Did you forget so easily what I told you here? I've noticed you creating userspace pages, but I just now noticed that you've edited, for instance, [[Resist Wing]] with the code you had in one of your userspace pages, as well as many others. Looking back a couple days, it looks like you did the same with [[X Attack]], and I'm seriously wondering whether there was any item page you've created since the message above that you don't also have a duplicate for in your mainspace...

Do. Not. Do. That.

Either just make pages in the mainspace, or ask for them to be moved if you can't do it yourself. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:06, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
:The item pages already exist as redirects, and so simply moving them is not possible. I've taken the precedence of the big [[Potion]], [[Protein]], [[Ether]], etc. edits as example that pasting code for splitting is ok.
:Those item pages were created by me, using current item templates and checking on each of the locations for accuracy. As for the userspace pages, I leave them there because there can be lots of minor edits that I and a few others tend to make (especially for items where location confirmation is important) before they're moved to mainspace, so as to not unnecessarily clog up its history. Recently I've been moving the code if the page seems to be complete, being more and more used to the kind of content the item pages need. If the issue is that I have duplicates on my userspace because they've been moved, I can delete them from my userspace easy.
:Would love to hear your thoughts on this, as contacting some others on their respective userspace pages (like you said I should) often go with 0 responses. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 16:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
::I fear we're not clear here, so let me repeat. '''Do not''' create a userpage and just copy its code into a mainspace page. Okay? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:02, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

== Splitting pages ==

Splitting pages requires approval from an Editorial Board member, and also requires more than just copying and pasting data. The fossil pages will be split at some point along with other item pages that are suggested for a split.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:59, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
:Gotcha. Thanks for responding. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:01, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

== Some suggestions ==

#It doesn't matter for the readers, but for the editors of Bulbapedia, try to also consider edit histories when helping with the items; it is convenient to be able to trace where some information originally came from. Simply put: raw cut-and-paste is rarely wise, moving pages (mentioned above) is usually preferred where applicable. Also, if you change redirects to the full item pages, it may be wise to mention in the edit summary where that information came from (it may save us from [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#Focus Energy|issues like that]], even if they may occur rarely).
#I believe on location pages etc., item names should be displayed the way they're displayed in that game (or the most recent one, if it's more than one game). Not sure if what I noticed was just a typo or oversight on your part, but obviously, it helps to watch others' edits, and try to figure out why they do what they do.
#Please [[Bulbapedia:Categories|categorize]] pages properly. In particular, there should be ''no'' [[Special:UncategorizedPages|mainspace articles without any category]].
#Please pay more attention to the interwiki links at the bottom of pages. If you just leave them empty, they will create interwiki links regardless (in the sidebar, in desktop view), but to the wikis' main pages! Ideally, fill them with relevant pages, or else at least make sure they don't link somewhere they shouldn't. (Tip: If you found one relevant article in another wiki, you can usually copy the other links from that page.)
#I'd like to help with the fossil pages. You seem to have used Old Amber for the format, but I think that format is not ideal. (Also, I noticed some copypastas etc.) How about this: I edit the Helix Fossil, then you see what you think improves the page and synchronize the other fossils? (If you don't like a thing I do, just change it.) I'll try to see if they can be mainspaced, then.
Alright, I think that's it. Keep it up! [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:23, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong and not many people have told me so or otherwise. I'll definitely keep these in mind when editing other pages. I'm still relatively new to the Wikipedia system of things, and I apologize for my mistakes.
:That being said, I'd appreciate the help with the fossil pages! I'm not familiar with the code at all (as you could tell from the Old Amber format haha), so it'd be swell if you could edit it the way you see fit. I don't mind handling the synchronization to the other fossil pages. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 10:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
::It's OK, we're all still learning.
::I've edited Helix Fossil. Notice how I hid categories and interwikis while it's still in the userspace. :P
::Also, note that <nowiki>{{mainspace|status=complete}}</nowiki> indicates a page is finished and ready to be moved to mainspace. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:16, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:::Looks good. I've also changed the game locations up a bit so it's implied to be obtainable in other games, but through trade. If that change doesn't bother you I can start syncing up the other fossil pages to the Helix Fossil.
:::Btw, I've also taken the liberty to list down other things that might need updating/improving on my user page. I'd appreciate if you could take a look and see if my ideas are worth putting effort into haha. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 00:03, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
::::I'm just another editor, so even if it did bother me a little (which it doesn't), feel free to ignore that. One thing I will note, though, is that some of the removed information may be helpful, in particular that there's a choice between the Helix and the Dome Fossil (such that, for example, you cannot obtain both in the same save file without trade). I think I probably would've have kept that. Anyway, could you edit the table at [[Old Amber]] the way you see fits?
::::In my opinion, everything that's on your to-do list seems reasonable. My latest information on Poké Balls is that [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#Template:BerryInfobox|their on hold]], and/because they're hard to handle. Also, I don't see the evobox as a top priority; I haven't really made up my mind on the proposed change, to be honest, and/but I believe Mega Evolution is fundamentally different than Evolution. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:46, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::Oh Tiddlywinks made the edit removing that information (see latest edit on the Helix Fossil page), I just followed that direction on the Dome Fossil page. I'll fix up Old Amber to mirror the changes so far.
:::::For the evobox, the justification is that Mega evos are different temporary forms, just like what Castform, Cherrim, and Necrozma have on theirs. If those mons have theirs listed in their evoboxes, it only seems necessary to include Mega evos too, since they work similarly. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 17:14, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
::::::I saw that, and I assumed you agreed when you spread that. I see that logic (in general), but as I said, I probably would've kept at least that choice part (or, restore rather than spread it), but I may not be the most knowledgable person on that. Same as for the evobox. ;) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:28, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::::I assumed it was for the best since Tiddlywinks probably has better judgement than I do haha. If you deem it best to restore that, feel free to do so :D [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 17:45, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Remember my very first point? Or what Tiddlywinks said above? You could have waited for a staff member with the proper rights to do both Bottle Cap pages properly (like I had already asked SnorlaxMonster to), or, even all on your own, you should at least have had the opportunity to move Gold Bottle Cap and all Mulch articles properly with the move function. While I appreciate your efforts, please do keep this in mind for the future. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:32, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::Oh ok. I'm actually confused as to how the move function works because it doesn't seem to work when the page already exists (even as a redirect). The way I've seen it done in precedents is copying and pasting the data on the redirect page, and so I thought that was the only way around that. Please enlighten me if this is not the case. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 15:30, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
{{indent}}To my knowledge, if moving involves deleting a page, you need someone with <code>delete</code> to do it (Administrator or above). The exception is if the page to be deleted (i.e. where it is moved onto) is a redirect page ''that has no history'' (apart from the one revision that created the redirect), then anyone can do it. Either way, you can't move without creating a redirect (which is deleting where you moved it from). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:36, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
:That's odd. I've tried multiple times moving pages onto "no history" redirect pages, and it still says that the page already exists and I can't perform the function. I might just be missing something though. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 15:41, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

== Wrong game for Pokedex entries ==

When you're adding a Pokedex entry, make sure you're connecting it with correct game. All LGPE entries added by you are leading to "Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee", but correct name is "Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!", ergo - you're redlinking a lot. [[User:Asmod96|Asmod96]] ([[User talk:Asmod96|talk]]) 15:09, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
:In my defense, the template only accepts Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee as correct input. I started adding them in like that when I saw a regular editor add the Rattata entry, and I followed suit seeing that it appeared to be correct.
:There isn't a way to correct this at the moment, the template itself is wrong.
:As temporary solution, I redirected the dead link to the actual game. This should service until the template is fixed. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 16:10, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

== Berry redirect pages ==

If I recall correctly, it was {{user|Lady Ariel}} who said that the Silver and Gold Berries from Let's Go should have their own pages. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:35, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
:Oh, alright. I guess we can just have the redirect there as placeholder for when those pages are eventually created (y'know, just to avoid redlinks).
:Also, I think they'd be better off under a Varieties section under the same page (since they have similar effects in Let's Go, count as berries but would allow the Berry numbering to still be followed), along with a bunch of other changes that I think the berry pages can benefit from. You can find 'em on the message I left on ForceFire's talk page a few days ago. Would be great if you could help out once that's approved. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 15:40, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

== LGPE edit trivia thingie ==

Uh, so hi. On this (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ability) page it says that abilities where added in gen 3, instead of Pokémon Crystal. If you're really sure that isn't right just go edit it. But I'ma just edit that back to gen 3.

Additional effect

2023-12-17T15:16:36Z

DarkMatterMan4500: /* List of moves with additional effects */

{{incomplete|section|needs=Generations in which Charge Beam's effect chance can overflow}}
An '''additional effect''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|追加効果|ついかこうか}}''' ''additional effect''), sometimes also called an '''added effect''', is the in-battle secondary effect of a [[List of moves that do damage|damaging move]].

==Effects that affect additional effects==
There are several moves and {{Abilities}} which have effects on moves with additional effects.
* The Ability {{a|Serene Grace}} doubles the chances of the Pokémon's own moves' additional effects occurring (up to 100%).
* The Ability {{a|Sheer Force}} boosts the damage of the Pokémon's own moves with additional effects, but prevents their additional effects from occurring.
* The Ability {{a|Shield Dust}} prevents the Pokémon from being affected by other Pokémon's moves' additional effects.
* The [[held item]] [[Covert Cloak]] prevents the Pokémon from being affected by other Pokémon's moves' additional effects.
* The rainbow created by {{m|Water Pledge}} when used in combination with {{m|Fire Pledge}} doubles the chances of additional effects.

The effects of the rainbow and Serene Grace stack, except for chances to [[flinch]] (which can only be doubled once), meaning that when used together they quadruple the chance of additional effects. Internally, the chance of an additional effect is stored in a byte; as such, in Generations V to VIII, if the chance of an additional effect is increased past 255 by a combination of Serene Grace and the rainbow effect, it will overflow and wrap back around from 0. This only matters for Charge Beam, whose 70% chance would become 280%, thus causing it to overflow to 24%, as moves with 100% effect chance which overflow back to 100%.

==Classification==
Only damaging moves can count as moves with additional effects. Additional effects typically include moves with a chance to increase the user's stats, decrease the target's stats, inflict [[status condition]]s, or cause [[flinch]]ing. Even if the effect has a 100% chance of applying, it can still be classified as an additional effect.

Some moves have multiple additional effects; for example, {{m|Ice Fang}} has a 10% chance of {{status|freeze|freezing}} the target and an independent 10% chance of causing the target to {{status|flinch}}.

The effects of {{m|Anchor Shot}}, {{m|Ceaseless Edge}}, {{m|Eerie Spell}}, {{m|Genesis Supernova}}, {{m|Secret Power}}, {{m|Sparkling Aria}}, {{m|Spirit Shackle}}, and {{m|Stone Axe}} are explicitly enumerated as being additional effects, though they would not otherwise be counted as such if not for this exception. Notably, {{m|Thousand Waves}} (which otherwise has an identical effect to Anchor Shot and Spirit Shackle) is not considered to have additional effects.

The Abilities {{a|Stench}} and {{a|Poison Touch}} and the [[held item]]s [[Razor Fang]] and [[King's Rock]] grant additional effects to moves. However, Sheer Force only boosts moves that always have additional effects; granting a move an additional effect this way will not allow it to be boosted by Sheer Force if it otherwise would not, but these effects will be suppressed by Sheer Force if it is boosted by Sheer Force (due to already having an additional effect). Similarly, additional effects caused by using {{m|Fling}} while holding specific items are additional effects and are blocked by Shield Dust, but Fling is not affected by Sheer Force (regardless of the held item).

[[Max Move]]s are not considered to have additional effects, but some [[Z-Move]]s (such as {{m|Genesis Supernova}} and {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}) are.

Moves that lower the user's stat stages (such as {{m|Overheat}} and {{m|Close Combat}}) are not considered to have an additional effect, even if they also raise a stat (such as {{m|Scale Shot}}). {{cat|HP-draining moves|HP draining}}, such as the effect of {{m|Giga Drain}}, is also not considered an additional effect. The item-removing effect of {{m|Knock Off}}, item-stealing effect of {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}}, [[status condition]]-curing effect of {{m|Smelling Salts}} and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}, barrier-removing effect of {{m|Brick Break}} and {{m|Psychic Fangs}}, the type-changing effect of {{m|Burn Up}} and {{m|Double Shock}}, and [[:Category:Moves that switch the target out|switch-forcing]] effect of {{m|Dragon Tail}} and {{m|Circle Throw}} are not considered additional effects.

Sound-based move

DarkMatterMan4500: /* List of sound-based moves */

[[File:Boomburst IX.png|thumb|250px|{{m|Boomburst}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}]]
A '''sound-based move''' is any [[move]] that uses sound. Sound-based moves have a variety of unique properties and effects.

==In the games==
In the [[core series]] games, sound-based moves have the following effects:
* {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the {{a|Soundproof}} [[Ability]] are unaffected by other Pokémon's sound-based moves, except {{m|Heal Bell}} in [[Generation V]].
* Pokémon affected by {{m|Throat Chop}} cannot use sound-based moves for two turns.
* Sound-based moves used by a Pokémon with {{a|Liquid Voice}} become {{type|Water}} moves.
* Sound-based moves used by a Pokémon with {{a|Punk Rock}} are boosted by 30%. Pokémon with Punk Rock also take half damage from sound-based moves.
* If a Pokémon holding a [[Throat Spray]] uses a sound-based move, the Throat Spray is consumed and boosts the holder's {{stat|Special Attack}} by one stage.

While not an inherent property of sound-based moves, from [[Generation VI]] onward, all sound-based moves (except {{m|Howl}}) can hit Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}} regardless of the substitute.

'''Eerie Spell''' (Japanese: '''ぶきみなじゅもん''' ''Eerie Spell'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is one of the [[signature move]]s of {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowking}}.

==Effect==
Eerie Spell deals damage and decreases the [[PP]] of the last move the target used by 3. PP will not be deducted if the target [[Fainting|faints]] from the move.

Eerie Spell is a [[sound-based move]]. Eerie Spell can hit Pokémon even if they are behind a substitute.

'''Double Hit''' (Japanese: '''ダブルアタック''' ''Double Attack'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[multi-strike move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generation IV===
Double Hit inflicts damage, hitting twice per use. Each strike has an equal chance to be a [[critical hit]].

Double Hit will hit again if the first strike breaks a substitute. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the second strike of this move.

If the target has [[Contact#Abilities|an Ability that activates upon contact]], each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate twice.

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]], each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].

===Generation V onwards===
If a [[Focus Sash]] activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A [[Focus Band]] can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. {{a|Sturdy}} will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.

If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or {{a|Stamina}}, each strike will activate it.

If the target is holding a [[Rocky Helmet]], the user is damaged for each strike.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Double Hit is now a Status move with 10 PP that causes the user to become Primed, causing its attack moves to deal 50% more damage. It also increases the user's action speed.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Double Hit is one of {{p|Scizor}}'s possible second moves. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and choosing to upgrade {{m|Quick Attack}} into it instead of {{m|Swords Dance}}.

Double Hit has the user jump in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits during the jump and applying a mark on them. After hitting opposing Pokémon, it jumps again in the designated direction. When the user lands, its next basic attack becomes a boosted attack, and the user charges at an opposing Pokémon. If the user knocks out a marked opposing Pokémon, all of the user's move cooldowns are reset.

By reaching level 13, Double Hit is upgraded into '''Double Hit+''', and the move's cooldown is reduced.

===New Activities===
====BB League====
The Blueberry League, BB League for short, is a unique [[Pokémon League|Pokémon battle league]] where students rise in ranks from the various Pokémon battles against each other. To face the BB League Elite Four, the player must pass four unique Elite Tests. Each member of BB League Elite Four occupies a biome in the [[Terarium]]. One Elite Trial by [[Amarys]] has {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} gain the ability to fly temporarily to pass through floating rings in the air.<ref name="bbl" />

====League Club====
Blueberry Academy has a League Club where participating players in the BB League can join to train through Pokémon battles. The player can also use the clubroom's computer to fund other clubs in the Academy using BP (Blueberry Points). Depending on the club they're helping, the player can receive thank-you gifts. One example is being able to redecorate the League Club room after sending funds to the Art Club.<ref name="lclub">https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/league_club/</ref> The player can spend 3,000 BP to increase the amount of Pokémon that will appear in certain areas within the Terarium biome.<ref name="denfam">https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/kikakuthetower/231208p#i-5</ref>

====Special Guests====
While at Blueberry Academy, the player can invite familiar characters from [[Paldea]] for a visit, such as the [[Gym Leader]]s. Players will be able to do a variety of activities, such as taking photos, learning more about them, battling and trading Pokémon after interacting with the guest a few times.<ref name="lclub" /> The traded Pokémon comes with a new [[Ribbon]] -the Partner Ribbon, which shows the original owner's name when the Pokémon is sent into battle, such as "''Go! [[Iono]]'s Magnemite!''".<ref name="acaclub">https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/blueberry_academy_club/</ref> The player can invite up to 23 different characters to the League Club by using BP.<ref name="fami">https://www.famitsu.com/news/202312/08326662.html</ref>

====Blueberry Quests====
Blueberry Quests, BBQs for short, are side quests assigned by the Academy. Completing these side quests earns the player BP. BBQs can be tracked in the notices menu, and players will also be able to take on group quests with friends through the Union Circle. One group quest will involve searching for {{p|Ditto}} that have transformed into blocks hidden around the Terarium.<ref name="acaclub" />

====Throwing Styles====
By donating funds to the Academy's Baseball Club, players will have the ability to change the throwing style of their [[Poké Ball]] during a battle. There are plenty of animations to choose from and can be changed whenever needed.<ref name="acaclub" />

====Synchro Machine====
A new feature in the Terarium, the player can unlock the Synchro Machine after helping a Scientist named [[Synclaire]] with her research. The machine allows the player to synchronize with their Pokémon, allowing them to move around as said Pokémon and battle other Pokémon in the style of [[Let's_Go!#Auto_Battle|auto battle]]. Unlike a typical auto battle, [[Shiny Pokémon]] will be knocked out if attacked while the Player is synchronized. The Synchro Machine can also be used in the Union Circle, with the entire group synchronizing with their respective Pokémon.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/synchronize/</ref> Every Pokémon included in Scarlet and Violet, along with DLC expansions, can be synchronized with. Also, flying Pokémon used in Synchro Machine will stay in flight, even when walking off a ledge.<ref name="denfam" /><ref name="fami" />

* After reaching a certain point in The Indigo Disk, the player can unlock {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}'s ability to fly permanently. This allows the player to fly freely in [[Paldea]], [[Kitakami]], and the Terarium instead of gliding.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/</ref>
* 25 different [[Legendary Pokémon]] from past generations in the core series will return in The Indigo Disk as well. To encounter them, the player must speak to a new character called [[Snacksworth]] at Blueberry Academy, who will only appear after completing the main story of The Indigo Disk. Meeting certain conditions will prompt Snacksworth to give special snacks needed to encounter the specific Legendary Pokémon, in which the encounter will happen in [[Paldea]]. Snacksworth will also share stories of his heroic encounters and extensive knowledge of the Legendary Pokémon.<ref name="legs" /> The encountered Legendary Pokémon will be at level 70 and each will have their original battle music from the games they debuted in.<ref name="denfam" /><ref name="fami" />

DarkMatterMan4500: Grammatical error fixed.

These moves have decreased [[priority]]. If a Pokémon uses one of these moves, it will go after other higher priority moves that turn. If other Pokémon in the {{pkmn|battle}} also use a decreased priority move with the same value, the attack order will be determined normally.

DarkMatterMan4500: /* Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire */

[[File:Ability VIII.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Gyarados}} lowering {{p|Hydreigon}}'s {{stat|Attack}} stat with its {{a|Intimidate}} Ability]]
An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld. Individual Pokémon may have only one Ability at a time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], an Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon was obtained except by [[evolution]]—where the new Ability is determined by the former Ability—and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is entirely beneficial; {{cat|Abilities with negative effects|some of them are hindering}}.

Abilities are functionally absent in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Terminology==
Often in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and also sometimes in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is written as "special ability" (in lowercase). Some examples:

* The descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, and {{a|Trace}} mention either "special ability" or "special abilities".
* In the placeholder text for a Pokémon with no Ability: "No special ability."
* Some [[non-player character]]s mention "special abilities".
** A male NPC in the house south of [[Devon Corporation]], in [[Rustboro City]]: "Every <sc>Pokémon</sc> has a special ability that it can use."
** A female NPC in the first floor of [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]: "Depending on the special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, some moves might change or not work at all."
** {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cooltrainer}} Jennifer in {{rt|120|Hoenn}}: "<sc>Pokémon</sc> have many special abilities. If you want to become a first-class <sc>Trainer</sc>, learn about them.", "The special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc> will make battle styles change."
* In the [[easy chat system]]: "<sc>Sp. Ability</sc>"
* In the manual of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, about the Pokémon's [[summary]]: "Displays the special <sc>Ability</sc> of the Pokémon"

Sometimes in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, but more often in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]], this is written as "ability" (in lowercase; without the word "special"). Some examples:

* The Pokémon's summary has an "Ability" field.
* The description of [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) mentions "abilities".
* When {{m|Skill Swap}} is used in battle: "<Pokémon> swapped abilities with its opponent!"
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]] games, the descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{a|Trace}}, and {{m|Worry Seed}} mention either "ability" or "abilities".
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, said by the NPC who delivers [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) in [[Canalave City]]: "You know how Pokémon have their own abilities? Well, the move Skill Swap exchanges the user’s ability with that of its target Pokémon."

From [[Generation V]] onwards, this is consistently written as "Ability" (starting with a capital letter).

==Mechanics==
[[File:Primordial Sea.png|thumb|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} activating its Ability, {{a|Primordial Sea}} in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Note the banner on the left.]]
Some species of Pokémon have multiple possible Abilities. The most Abilities any species or form has is three: two normal Abilities and one Hidden Ability. In most [[wild Pokémon]] encounters, the Pokémon's Ability will be one of its non-Hidden Abilities (each having an even chance of appearing if the species has two). Hidden Abilities were introduced in [[Generation V]]; they are relatively rare and usually require some type of special encounter.

In technical terms, a species' Abilities may be thought of as having separate slots, with an individual Pokémon's non-Hidden slot determined by its [[personality value]]. For example, an {{p|Eevee}} — with two non-Hidden Abilities — has {{a|Run Away}} for its first non-Hidden slot, {{a|Adaptability}} for its second, and {{a|Anticipation}} for its Hidden Ability slot. {{p|Vaporeon}} — with only one non-Hidden Ability — can be considered to have {{a|Water Absorb}} for both non-Hidden slots. When a Pokémon evolves, its Ability slot remains the same. This means that a {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} will evolve into a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}, while a Poochyena with {{a|Quick Feet}} will evolve into a Mightyena with {{a|Quick Feet}}.

Aside from Evolution, there are four ways for Pokémon to change Abilities in a permanent manner. First, if the Pokémon has different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] with different Abilities. Second, [[Pokémon Bank|transferring]] a Pokémon from one generation of games to a later one in which the Ability in a given slot is different. Third, using the [[Ability Capsule]], introduced in [[Generation VI]], will change a Pokémon's non-Hidden Ability slot, but it will not work if the Pokémon's species has only one non-Hidden Ability. Fourth, using the [[Ability Patch]], introduced in [[Generation VIII]], will change a Pokémon's Ability slot from its non-Hidden Ability to its Hidden Ability if it has one, or starting in [[Generation IX]], from its Hidden Ability slot to its first non-Hidden Ability slot. Aside from these methods, during battle, Pokémon may also change their Ability through [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], and certain [[move]]s and Abilities can also change a Pokémon's Ability.

When Abilities were introduced in [[Generation III]], some Pokémon only had one possible Ability. A number of these species were given a second Ability in a later generation. If a Pokémon whose species gained an Ability after Generation III is transferred to Generations IV or {{gen|V}}, it will initially retain its original Ability; upon evolving, however, its Ability slot will be recalculated and its Ability may change. When a Pokémon is transferred to Generation VI or [[Generation VII]], however, it will be locked into the appropriate slot for its current Ability.

Aside from in-battle effects, some Abilities also have effects {{cat|Abilities with field effects|outside of battle}}.

===Hidden Abilities===
{{main|Hidden Ability}}
A Hidden Ability is essentially a rare Ability that Pokémon normally do not have access to, introduced in [[Generation V]]. Most Pokémon encountered in the games will not have a Hidden Ability; but usually, there are special encounter methods where Pokémon can have a Hidden Ability. Certain [[event Pokémon]] and special in-game Pokémon may also have their Hidden Ability.

The Hidden Ability is implemented as an extra slot, and a Pokémon with its Hidden Ability will retain its Hidden Ability slot upon [[evolution]] in the same way that its normal Abilities may change. For example, a {{p|Caterpie}} with its Hidden Ability of {{a|Run Away}} will have {{a|Shed Skin}} upon evolving once and {{a|Tinted Lens}} upon evolving into {{p|Butterfree}}. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was not possible to change a Pokémon's Ability slot from a normal Ability to a Hidden Ability. [[Generation VIII]] introduced the consumable [[Ability Patch]], which allows switching between a Pokémon's normal and Hidden Abilities.

When {{pkmn|breeding}} with a Pokémon that has its Hidden Ability, its offspring [[Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|have a chance]] of having their Hidden Ability as well.

===Inheriting Abilities===
{{main|Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|Pokémon breeding → Inheriting Abilities}}
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by {{pkmn|breeding}}. An Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities.

Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its Hidden Ability and is bred with a male Pokémon, it has a 60% chance of passing it down. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a female Pokémon bred with a male Pokémon has an 80% chance of passing down its Ability slot (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). From [[Generation VI]] onward, a female Pokémon has an 80% (60% for Hidden Ability) chance to pass down its Ability slot, regardless of whether it is bred with a male Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}}.

Since [[Generation VI]], it is possible for male and [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}) to pass down their Ability if bred with a Ditto, in which case it has a 60% chance to pass down its Hidden Ability. They cannot pass down a Hidden Ability when bred with any Pokémon other than Ditto. Ditto's Ability is always irrelevant to inheritance.

If an Egg does not inherit its Ability from a parent, it can only be born with one of its non-Hidden Abilities.

==Ability-related effects==
Various items, moves, and Abilities can affect a Pokémon's Ability, usually in battle.

==Alternatives==
===Generation II===
Prior to Abilities' introduction, [[Generation II]] games already featured a mechanic similar to {{a|Pickup}} and {{a|Honey Gather}} uniquely available to a single Pokémon species: after each battle, a {{i|Berry}} held by a {{p|Shuckle}} can automatically transform into [[Berry Juice]]. No other Pokémon has this trait, and it hasn't been translated into an actual Ability in subsequent games.

===Generation VIII===
While Abilities are officially absent in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the effects of {{a|Flower Gift}} and {{a|Slow Start}} are nonetheless applied to {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Regigigas}} respectively. [[Plate]]s are also available as [[Key Item]]s to replicate {{p|Arceus}}'s {{a|Multitype}}.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics#Abilities|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics → Abilities}}

Abilities available in the core series games are also available in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Some Abilities differ from their counterparts in the core series (e.g. {{a|Intimidate}} reduces the opposing Pokémon's Attack by 20%). Prior to [[Gates to Infinity]], Pokémon with two Abilities would have both rather than just one. There are no Hidden Abilities in Mystery Dungeon games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|List of Abilities (Conquest)}}

While most Pokémon species in [[Pokémon Conquest]] have access to three Abilities (similar to the main series, Hidden Abilities included), many of these Abilities are different from the main series due to differences in the battle system. For example, Abilities like {{a|Cute Charm}} and {{a|Rivalry}} do not exist in Pokémon Conquest (due to the game's lack of a [[gender]] mechanic), while other Abilities utilize mechanics unique to Pokémon Conquest battles (like "Sprint", which increases the user's movement {{stat|Range}}).

Like the main series, an individual Pokémon's Ability is dictated by its current species (i.e. evolutionary form) and may change during [[evolution]].

===Pokémon UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Abilities are similar to the main series. Every Pokémon with a Unite License uses one of their Abilities from the main series games as their Ability. Similarly, a Pokémon's Ability can change when it evolves, such as {{p|Tyranitar}} having [[Guts]] as a {{p|Larvitar}} and [[Shed Skin]] as a {{p|Pupitar}} before gaining [[Sand Stream]] as a Tyranitar. The effects of Abilties usually correlate to their main series counterparts, such as how [[Garchomp]]'s [[Rough Skin]] deals damage to opponents who hit it with [[physical]] melee attacks. However, this is not always the case, as [[Mewtwo]]'s [[Pressure]] only serves to enable its [[Mega Evolution]] instead of having an effect that lines up with its main series effect of reducing [[PP]]. Abilities often have multiple effects aside from adapting the main series Abilities. These effects can fill gauges or give the Pokémon resources that contribute to the effectiveness of its other attacks and [[move]]s. Many Abilities that trigger as a result of something happening, such as {{p|Pikachu}}'s [[Static]] activating when it takes damage, cannot trigger again until a cooldown period has passed.

==In the anime==
[[File:Harrison Kecleon Color Change.png|thumb|250px|{{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Kecleon}} activating {{a|Color Change}}]]
Abilities have been shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but are usually only used in {{pkmn|battle}}s; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as {{TP|Ash|Infernape}}'s {{a|Blaze}}. Abilities sometimes work differently in the anime than they would in the games, such as {{a|Mold Breaker}}, which in the anime cancels out more Abilities than it would in the games.

===[[Original series]]===
The only Ability that was seen in the original series was {{a|Color Change}}, being used by [[Madison and Alexa]]'s {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''. It was later used by {{jo|Harrison}}'s Kecleon in ''[[EP271|Playing With Fire!]]''.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
The first Ability to be seen other than {{a|Color Change}} was {{a|Rough Skin}}, first seen in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. It was used by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}.

In ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'' a Kecleon used {{a|Color Change}}.

In ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]'', [[Alanna]]'s {{p|Whismur}} used its {{a|Soundproof}} Ability to stay awake and listen to {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing|song}}.

[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} used {{a|Wonder Guard}} to protect itself against {{m|Spike Cannon}} by [[Misty's Corsola]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''.
[[File:Colonel Hansen Shedinja Wonder Guard.png|thumb|250px|[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} activating {{a|Wonder Guard}}]]
Two Abilities were seen in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', being used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Grovyle}}, using {{a|Static}} and {{a|Overgrow}} respectively.

[[Bart]]'s {{p|Castform}} used {{a|Forecast}} in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', turning into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|Sunny and Rainy Form]].

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', [[Marcel]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}} possessed {{a|Vital Spirit}}, which prevented it from falling asleep while fighting a {{p|Snorlax}} that kept using {{m|Yawn}}.

Both {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Drought}} were seen in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' respectively by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}.

In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', [[Liza's Lunatone]] used {{a|Levitate}}.

In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Luvdisc}} used {{a|Swift Swim}} to increase its speed.

In ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'', [[Kimmy Shoney|Kimmy]]'s {{p|Linoone}}, Tokin, used {{a|Pickup}} to steal and take items to its private stash, including {{an|May}}'s Poké Balls.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Hariyama}} used {{a|Thick Fat}} to halve the damage it took from [[Ash's Torkoal]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'', [[Lisa Mitchum]]'s {{p|Jigglypuff}} used {{a|Cute Charm}} whilst her [[Mitch Mitchum|father]]'s {{p|Loudred}} used Soundproof to stop Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing}} from working.

[[Angela]]'s Kecleon used Color Change in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', while [[Brock's Bonsly]] used {{a|Rock Head}}.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', a wild {{p|Wooper}} used {{a|Water Absorb}}.

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', [[May's Blaziken]] used its Blaze Ability while [[Ash's Sceptile]] used {{a|Overgrow}} during their [[Contest Battle]] in the {{to|Terracotta}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Abilities proved important in the battles [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} had with [[Roark]]. During Paul's battle in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} uses Static to paralyze Roark's {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Cranidos}} although the latter shakes it off with {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Paul also deliberately allows his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} to take extra damage so that it can activate Blaze. After Ash's first match with Roark ends in defeat, {{an|Brock}} briefly lends him {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' because its Ability Rock Head makes it similar to Roark's Pokémon Onix, who also had the Ability. During Ash's rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu also activates Static against Roark's newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} and it is similarly ineffective.

In ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]]'s {{p|Stunky}} used {{a|Stench}} against {{TRT}}.

[[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}} caught Ash by surprise during their first battle in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' when it was able to move very quickly with {{a|Chlorophyll}}.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Ash and Paul found themselves at a disadvantage during their first [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] because the {{p|Rhydon}} used by one of their opponents possessed {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} [[move|attacks]] useless.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} found Paul and {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|his other Pokémon}} evidently abusing his Chimchar, repeatedly attacking it until it eventually collapsed from exhaustion. When confronted, Paul explained that Chimchar actually wanted the brutal training regimen; when they first met, Chimchar was being attacked by wild {{p|Zangoose}} and when pushed to the limit it activated Blaze and defeated all of the Zangoose with {{m|Flame Wheel}}. This incredible power was what drove Paul to capture Chimchar in the first place and the two have been trying to replicate the experience ever since with no success.

{{a|Swift Swim}} was an important part of [[Ash's Buizel]] going toe to toe with [[Maylene's Lucario]] in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''

{{a|Blaze}} returned in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' when Ash's Chimchar became enraged during a battle with [[Paul's Ursaring]]. It took considerable effort for Ash to return Chimchar to normal after it defeated Ursaring, causing Paul to leave the battle a draw. Paul told Ash that they would only battle again when and if Ash and Chimchar learned to control Blaze.
[[File:Ash Monferno Blaze.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Monferno]] activating {{a|Blaze}}]]
In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}} activated his {{a|Cute Charm}} Ability while battling [[Dawn's Ambipom]] in the final round of the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

[[Brock's Croagunk]] first used his {{a|Anticipation}} Ability in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]''. He often used it to find Team Rocket and chase them off on his own.

In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist!]]'', [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Gengar}} possessed {{a|Levitate}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing with Defensive Types!]]'', [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} used its {{a|Heatproof}} Ability to minimize damage from [[Ash's Chimchar]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', [[Jessie's Yanmega]] activated her {{a|Speed Boost}} Ability while performing in the {{to|Chocovine}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', [[Paul's Honchkrow]] used its Ability {{a|Super Luck}}.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', [[Jeremiah]]'s {{p|Skuntank}} was known to have Stench as it Ability, but the Ability was activated off-screen.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', [[Paul's Magmortar]] used its {{a|Flame Body}} Ability to burn [[Ash's Pikachu]]. [[Paul's Ursaring]] also used its {{a|Guts}} Ability when [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{a|Static}} activated.

An {{p|Arceus}} used {{a|Multitype}} in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} used {{a|Solid Rock}} to lessen the damage from [[Ash's Grotle]]'s {{m|Energy Ball}}.

A wild {{p|Trapinch}} used its {{a|Arena Trap}} Ability in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

A wild {{p|Heatran}} used {{a|Flash Fire}} in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''.

[[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} used its {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'' against Ash in their [[Gym]] battle. The same Ability was later used by [[Paul's Electivire]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''.

In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', [[Barry's Empoleon]] activated its {{a|Torrent}} Ability while battling Paul's Electivire in the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Paul's {{p|Aggron}} used its {{a|Rock Head}} Ability in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' to avoid damage from its {{m|Double-Edge}} attack. In [[DP187|the next episode]], Paul's {{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Ninjask}} used {{a|Snow Cloak}} and Speed Boost, respectively.

{{a|Illusion}} was seen twice in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', being used by a {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} and {{OBP|Zorua|M13}}.

A wild {{p|Venipede}} used its {{a|Poison Point}} Ability to poison Ash in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''.

In ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'', {{an|Iris}} pointed out that {{AP|Roggenrola}} had the Ability Sturdy, implying that Roggenrola would receive less damage than a Pokémon normally would.
[[File:Alder Bouffalant Sap Sipper.png|thumb|250px|[[Alder]]'s {{p|Bouffalant}} activating {{a|Sap Sipper}}]]

Parallel to their introduction in [[Generation III]] of the video games, Abilities were first introduced in the ''Ruby & Sapphire'' arc of [[Pokémon Adventures]].

During {{adv|Sapphire}}'s battle with [[Roxanne]] in ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', [[Roxanne's Nosepass]] proved superior to [[Rono]]. Worried that Rono would be defeated, Sapphire attempted to switch Rono out for [[Chic]] but was unable to. Roxanne explained that because her {{p|Nosepass}} has {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{type|Steel}} Pokémon cannot switch out.

Ruby's first encounter with Abilities arrived in ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! II]]'' when he and [[Mr. Briney]] were attacked by a wild {{p|Crawdaunt}}. [[Peeko]] tried to defeat him with {{m|Quick Attack}}, but the Crawdaunt's {{a|Shell Armor}} prevented it from doing much damage at all. After Mr. Briney fell unconscious, Ruby had [[Kiki]] use {{m|Double-Edge}} and infatuate Crawdaunt with her Ability, {{a|Cute Charm}}.

After [[Wattson]] is captured by the [[New Mauville]] generator, Sapphire devised a double battle strategy using his {{TP|Wattson|Electrike}} in ''[[PS205|Plugging Past Electrike II]]''. While Electrike did not have the moves to defeat the generator itself, and the wild {{p|Donphan}} that Wattson and the [[Trick Master]] had originally intended to capture would be quickly eradicated by its powerful attacks, Electrike's Ability, {{a|Lightning Rod}}, would allow him to redirect the bolt away from Donphan, buying Donphan enough time to destroy the generator with {{m|Rollout}}.

[[Archie]]'s {{p|Walrein}} activated {{a|Thick Fat}} during battle with [[Maxie]]'s {{p|Camerupt}} in ''[[PS230|Walrein and Camerupt]]''. Maxie's Camerupt activated {{a|Magma Armor}} during the same battle.

[[Koya]]'s {{p|Absol}}'s {{a|Super Luck}} nearly defeated Hareta's Empoleon but a comeback with Empoleon's {{m|Surf}} would have given Hareta the win but the battle was interrupted by [[Mitsumi]]'s {{p|Glaceon}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}.

[[Yū Shirogane|Yū]]'s {{p|Scizor}} received {{p|Heatran}}'s {{a|Flash Fire}} Ability after {{p|Bronzong}} {{m|Skill Swap}}ped them in [[PBK4]]. Yū's Bronzong had {{a|Levitate}} in that same chapter.

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ability (TCG)}}
Abilities under the name of Abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to Abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some Abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers.

With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive Ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers were renamed to Abilities in {{TCG|Black and White}}, these distinctions were done away with.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Zygarde}} is the only Pokémon that has two standard Abilities but does not have a Hidden Ability.
* The unused Ability {{a|Cacophony}} was included in the coding for third-generation games as Ability #076 ({{a|Air Lock}} was #077). From the fourth generation, Cacophony was removed and Air Lock was renumbered as #076, with the new Abilities positioned from #077 onward.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Abilities, with a total of 76. [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with a total of 27.
* In Generation III, there is an unused Ability placeholder labeled as "-------" with the description "No special ability".
* Every Ability introduced in [[Generation VIII]] is a [[signature Ability]].

'''Sabrina's Kadabra''' (Japanese: '''ナツメのユンゲラー''' ''Natsume's Yungerer'') is [[Sabrina]]'s main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is on many of her teams in the [[core series|video games]] and in some series of [[Pokémon manga]]. There have also been [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] cards named for this Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[File:Sabrina Abra.png|thumb|left|220px|As an Abra]]
[[File:Sabrina and Kadabra.png|thumb|220px|Kadabra and Sabrina]]
Kadabra first appeared as an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''. Sabrina used it in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. During the battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], Abra evolved into a Kadabra and with its {{type|Psychic}} attacks, it eventually caused Ash to forfeit the match to save Pikachu from being hurt anymore. It was shown that Sabrina and Kadabra share a strong psychic bond.

Ash later returned for a rematch in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]''. This time, [[Sabrina's Haunter|Ash's Haunter]] made Sabrina laugh for the first time in years, which caused Kadabra to laugh due to the psychic bond it has with Sabrina. Due to this, Sabrina decided to give the {{badge|Marsh}} to Ash.

Kadabra was seen in flashbacks in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' and ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]''.

===Personality and characteristics===
Due to the strong psychic bond between Kadabra and Sabrina, all of Kadabra's emotions completely reflect those of Sabrina, making Kadabra's individual personality unknown.

[[File:Sabrina and Abra EToP.png|thumb|left|200px|Abra and Sabrina]]
Sabrina's Abra appeared in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]''. It had a one-on-one Gym battle against {{AP|Pikachu}}. Abra was able to battle despite sleeping. Pikachu launched multiple {{m|Thunder Shock}}s which was dodged by Abra's {{m|Teleport}}. One of them was redirected at Pikachu which costed {{Ash}} the match.

Later in the same chapter, Abra helps Ash and {{an|Brock}} rescue Sabrina from a giant {{p|Haunter}} named the [[Black Fog]]. It defended the two by neutralizing the Black Fog's {{m|Psychic}}. It was weakened by the Black Fog and Abra was about to get eaten by the giant Pokémon but Pikachu managed to save it. Abra then worked with Pikachu to battle the Black Fog in order for Ash to catch it. They were able to weaken it but it used {{m|Self-Destruct}} after Ash threw an Ultra Ball at it to prevent itself from being captured.

[[File:Sabrina and Kadabra Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Kadabra and Sabrina in Pokémon Adventures]]
Sabrina possesses a Kadabra, which was first seen in ''[[PS020|Meanwhile...Vileplume!]]'', posing as {{adv|Professor Oak}} in his laboratory. When he began to attack {{adv|Red}} and subsequently was tangled in [[Saur]]'s vine in retaliation, his use of a {{m|Psybeam}} revealed that he was a Pokémon. A {{m|Leech Seed}} attack then unmasked him, and soon he teleported back to Sabrina's side, aiding in the siege in [[Saffron City]].

In ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]'', Kadabra battles against {{adv|Green}}. Although Sabrina initially appeared to be daunted by her {{m|Smokescreen}} (among other various tricks), Sabrina is able to get the edge easily with Kadabra's psychic powers. After Green only managed to escape the opponent even [[Blasty]] couldn't take out, Kadabra and his Trainer soon caught up to her and called upon the other {{p|Articuno|legendary}} {{p|Zapdos|birds}}, who soon merged into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}}. In following arcs, he hasn't been seen much (owing to Sabrina's minor role), but continued to be among the strongest fighters she has, despite her also possessing {{p|Alakazam|his evolved form}} as well.

Sabrina's Kadabra appeared in ''[[PM012|The Life-or-Death Magic Duel!!]]''.

Sabrina summoned her Kadabra from her crystal ball after {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} arrived in her castle. She did so in order for it to challenge Clefairy to a magic game. Kadabra performed many tricks such as bending a spoon. As Clefairy took his turn to perform some tricks, he had Kadabra light up the magical box when Clefairy went inside. However, the box accidentally lit up the dynamite that was attached to it. Much to the surprise of Kadabra and the others, the dynamite exploded and it blew up the whole castle.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

On their way back to Pallet Town, Ash, Brock and Misty encounter a runaway Mr. Mime. Ash disguises himself as a Mr. Mime in an attempt to lure it back to its trainer. As always, Team Rocket is intent on stealing this rare Pokémon for themselves—will they catch the right one?

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} near [[Pallet Town]], Ash leaves {{Delia}} a message prior to their arrival. As he runs towards home, he suddenly crashes into an invisible wall created by a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, which is now climbing it. Just then, a girl named [[Stella]], who is a circus Ring Master, shows up to try to catch the Mr. Mime. Ash protests that he was going to catch it, but {{an|Brock}} holds him back because he thinks Stella is beautiful. The commotion allows the Mr. Mime to get away.

Stella brings the group to the circus, where she has her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} perform tricks for the show. The star of the show is her own Mr. Mime, but it will no longer perform because of her harsh training methods. Indeed, the group finds it lying around lazily and eating snacks. Brock tells Stella that he will get a Mr. Mime for her. When Ash is confused as to how Brock would catch the Mr. Mime, Brock tells him that someone should dress up as Mr. Mime and perform in the circus with the hopes that Stella's Mr. Mime will see this and get jealous. They hope it will lead to Mr. Mime wanting to perform in the circus once again.

At the same time, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} arrive at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. {{an|Giovanni|Their boss}} chastises them for [[EP063|the incident]] at the [[Viridian Gym]], but they hastily apologize and get away. As they sit in their balloon thinking of a way to get rare Pokémon, a flyer for the Pokémon Circus flies by. They pick it up and hatch a new plan.

Brock's plan is revealed to be dressing Ash up as Mr. Mime. Stella pulls out her whip and puts Ash into training before the show, during which he realizes that her training is indeed very harsh, and empathizes with Stella's Mr. Mime. Eventually, the circus show begins and Ash, in the Mr. Mime costume, comes out for the entry parade and waves to the crowd, including his own mother. Suddenly, the lights go off and {{TRT}} arrives. After performing their {{motto}}, they capture Ash with a net and leave, believing he is a Mr. Mime. Delia enters the ring, confronts Brock and {{an|Misty}}, and asks if Ash was in the Mr. Mime costume. Though they confirm it, she optimistically responds that Ash will be released once Team Rocket realizes that he isn't the Mr. Mime they were after. Delia invites them over to her house in the meantime.

In a wood cabin, Team Rocket sits around a meal and talks about how they are going to present their catch to the boss. Meanwhile, Ash unties and unmasks himself, horrifying and infuriating Team Rocket. He escapes and steals [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's Meowth balloon]], further enraging the trio. Meanwhile, Delia waves Brock, Misty, and Stella goodbye after having lunch. Just as they are leaving, the wild Mr. Mime from before comes knocking on her window. Delia mistakes it for Ash and allows him in for a snack. The real Ash arrives in the Meowth balloon, causing Delia to realize that her visitor was a real Mr. Mime. Delia asks Mr. Mime to help Ash, offering him a big dessert if it does, and it agrees.

Later, Team Rocket bursts out with a rubber tank, trapping the circus employees and Pokémon with nets. Stella and her Mr. Mime try to escape, but Team Rocket turns around and hones in on them. As they are about capture them too, Ash intervenes, ordering {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the tank, but it has no effect due to Team Rocket's use of rubber. Ash tries to send out {{AP|Charizard}}, but it doesn't obey him. Delia tells her Mr. Mime to help, and it builds a wall to block the trio. Stella's Mr. Mime sees this and, when the tank turns around, builds another wall to block them from the other side. The two Mr. Mimes eventually surround Team Rocket with a tower of walls. The trio tries to blow the walls out with their missiles, but end up blasting themselves off again.

Ash and his friends return to his house for dinner, prepared by the wild Mr. Mime, now [[nickname]]d [[Mimey]], who has decided to stay with Delia and become a helping hand around the house. Stella agrees to give up her harsh training. In return, her Mr. Mime forgives her and agrees to perform in the circus again.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: 
** Pokémon senryū summary: {{p|Muk}}, when becoming friends, doesn't stink.
* This episode is followed by ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]''.
* This is the second of three episodes (the first being ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and the third being ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'') to feature {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} in scenes that preludes to [[M01|the first movie]].
** This is despite the {{pkmn|anime}} going on a four-month hiatus as a result of the seizures caused by [[EP038]], and the three Mewtwo episodes subsequently ending up airing after the movie premiere on July 18, 1998.
** Of these three episodes, this is the only one not to have scenes also shown in the movie. However, the shot of Mewtwo shown from the bottom upwards uses the same animation as the scene in the movie's prologue, where Mewtwo is first shown in his armor. Because of this, Mewtwo's appearance in this episode is less cartoonish than the previous episode, and its "chin" is now covered by its armor.
* Music from ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' is played during the episode. This is also the first English [[dub]] episode to feature music from that movie's original Japanese soundtrack.
* The {{p|Jynx}} in the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment displays the species' old color design before the skin color was changed to purple due to the {{pkmn|controversy}} surrounding the issue.
* When the two {{p|Mr. Mime}} are making a tower of mirrors to catch Team Rocket and their tank, {{TRT}} says, "That's wall folks." This could be a reference to the catchphrase "That's all folks" from the ''{{wp|Looney Tunes}}'' and ''{{wp|Merrie Melodies}}'' cartoons.
* This is the first episode to mark the debut of a Pokémon in the main series that has already previously appeared in a Pikachu short.
* The episode's English dub title is a reference to the "Mime Time" segment from ''{{wp|Animaniacs}}''.

* In the dub, Stella thinks Mr. Mime left because she was such a tough trainer. However, in the original, she thinks it left because she spoiled it too much. This loses a bit of character development from the original as she has to realize why it really left.
* The "Brock the Rock" joke was originally a reference to the Japanese proverb "reliable as a big ship". Misty jokes about the "rocks in his head" in the dub, but she just asks if he is okay in the original version.
* Ash originally quotes the first two lines of Team Rocket's Japanese motto when unmasking himself from his Mr. Mime costume. Also, the jokes about how a mime should be acting like they're trapped in a bubble and shouldn't be able to [[Talking Pokémon|talk]] were dub-added.
* Delia asks Mimey to help her son in both versions but doesn't bribe him with dessert in the original. Ash's response is also different: he believes Delia is taking over his duties as a Pokémon Trainer in the dub, and believes Mimey is sucking up to Delia in the original.
* [[James]] introduces Team Rocket's new mecha in the original using a fast, TV announcer-like voice but in the dub he simply talks normally. Also, he didn't originally reference the fact that Ash stole his balloon.

==Blurb==

On their way to the Icirrus City Gym, Ash, Iris, and Cilan decide to spend the night at the Pokémon Battle Club in Astilbe Town. There they witness a Double Battle between two Trainers: Shamus, with his “Fire Warriors” Heatmor and Emboar, quickly defeats Kylan, with his Mienshao and Watchog.

At dinner, Tepig seems to recognize Shamus and goes bounding up to him. Iris reminds Ash how he and Tepig met after it was abandoned by its Trainer in Accumula Town—and based on Tepig’s reactions, it appears Shamus was that Trainer! Ash and Iris are furious and demand an apology for how he treated Tepig, but Shamus insists he left Tepig behind for its own good because it was too weak to battle.

Don George suggests that Ash and Shamus resolve their differences with a Double Battle. Shamus plans to use his Fire Warriors, and Snivy—who also had problems with its original Trainer—volunteers to be Tepig’s partner for the battle. But Tepig is reluctant to battle against Shamus, remembering how they parted in tears.

As the battle unfolds, Shamus reveals that he was faking his emotional goodbye so Tepig wouldn’t follow him! Tepig is utterly destroyed by this, and despite the type disadvantage, Snivy bravely steps up to take on the Fire Warriors all by itself. Inspired by its friend’s courage, Tepig resolves to prove its strength—and then evolves into Pignite!

The battle really heats up, and Pignite quickly shows that Shamus underestimated it, taking down the Fire Warriors by itself. Defeated, Shamus finally apologizes to Pignite and tries to convince it to rejoin his team—but Pignite sends him on his way with a fiery refusal, and our heroes are off to Icirrus City once more!

==Plot==
After their adventures in [[Twist Mountain]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to stay at [[Don George]]'s [[Battle Club]] in [[Astilbe Town]] for the night. Before reaching their room, the group comes across a [[Double Battle]] being held in one of the Club's rooms between a Trainer's {{p|Watchog}} and {{p|Mienshao}} and another Trainer's {{p|Heatmor}} and {{p|Emboar}}. Ash finds out more about Heatmor on his [[Pokédex]]. Mienshao uses {{m|Drain Punch}} on Heatmor and Watchog lifts and {{m|Slam}}s Emboar onto the ground. The other Trainer declares that he will show everyone the true power of the "{{t|Fire}} Warriors" and orders Emboar to use {{m|Hammer Arm}} on both opponents and for Heatmor to do the same with {{m|Flame Burst}}. Flame Burst creates a fiery explosion and knocks out both of the opponent's Pokémon, winning the battle for the Fire Trainer, whose name is [[Shamus]].

After the battle, Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} are walking down a hallway when they see Shamus talking to the Trainer he beat earlier, whose name is [[Kylan]]. Shamus demands to see the Trainer's Pokémon so that he can take one as winnings from the battle. Iris runs over to tell him that this is wrong and Cilan says that he should not be doing this, but Shamus brushes them both off. Don George appears and thanks the two Trainers for the great battle, defusing the situation. Shamus leaves and the group asks Kylan why he would have a Pokémon battle with such high stakes, but he says that he didn't even want to battle in the first place and that Shamus wanted to get his hands on powerful Pokémon. Ash and Cilan agree that this is not what Pokémon battles are for.

In the cafeteria, Cilan announces that dinner is ready while all the Pokémon eat their food. {{AP|Tepig}} notices Shamus sitting at another table by himself and begins to remember that he used to be his Trainer, and so runs toward him excitedly. Ash sees Tepig running off and apologizes to Shamus for his disturbance. Ash asks Tepig to come back, but he doesn't leave Shamus's side. Cilan wonders if the two know each other. Iris reminds Ash that Tepig was abandoned by his original Trainer back in [[Accumula Town]], so Ash asks Shamus if he was the one who abandoned Tepig, and he replies saying Tepig was lucky Ash gave him a break. Iris and Ash scold him and say that it was wrong to throw a Pokémon away. Ash demands that he apologize to Tepig, but Shamus refuses and throws him to Ash. Cilan gets in the middle and says that the only way to settle this is with a trial, and it just so happens that he's a judge connoisseur. The cafeteria suddenly turns into a spacious courtroom with Cilan as judge, Tepig as plaintiff with Ash as his counselor, Shamus as the defendant, and Iris, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Snivy}}, {{AP|Scraggy}}, a sleeping {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} as the audience. Shamus's defense is that he left Tepig for his own good because forcing a weak Pokémon into battle would be worse than abandonment. Iris, Snivy and Emolga all yell at Shamus saying that he's really rude, but Cilan makes them be quiet, which they aren't happy about. Ash prosecutes by mentioning the rope that tied Tepig to a post. Shamus argues that he had to tie Tepig up to keep him from following. Cilan is unable to decide a verdict, so Don George interrupts and suggests they battle to settle the argument. Shamus agrees only if it is a Double Battle. Ash tells Shamus that he would have to apologize to Tepig if he loses. Snivy approaches Ash and emphatically volunteers to battle with Tepig. Cilan reminds Ash that Snivy had trouble with her Trainer as well. Ash agrees to Snivy's wishes and the two Trainers decide to battle in the morning.

Later that night, Tepig goes outside on his own to think. He tears up as he remembers being tied up and abandoned by Shamus. Ash's voice calls out for Tepig, and so he shakes away the tears. The rest of the group, including Snivy, come around a corner and say that they have been looking for Tepig. Ash tells Tepig that he and Snivy want to train, but he sighs and lowers his head. Cilan says that Tepig may not want to battle his former Trainer, prompting Iris to tell Tepig not to be so nice. Snivy goes up to Tepig and slaps him with {{m|Vine Whip}} and begins to talk passionately. Tepig agrees to battle.

The next morning, the battle between Shamus and Ash is about to begin. Though Snivy is ready, Tepig still appears downtrodden. Ash commands Snivy to use {{m|Leaf Storm}} on Emboar, but he dodges. Ash tells Tepig to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Heatmor, but Tepig can neither bring himself to battle nor dodge a Hammer Arm from Emboar. Ash tells Tepig that he understands how he feels. Shamus chuckles and says that he pretends to be sad and on the verge of tears whenever he abandons a Pokémon to make it think that he actually cares, all so that it follows him. Upon hearing this, Tepig becomes immobilized by sadness and breaks down. Snivy tries to help Tepig, but it is no use. Realizing this, Ash asks Snivy to cover for Tepig. Snivy uses {{m|Attract}} on Emboar, leaving him helpless to avoid Vine Whip. Shamus snaps Emboar out of it by having Heatmor use {{m|Fury Swipes}} on its teammate. Emboar recovers from the {{status|infatuation}} and uses Flamethrower while Heatmor uses {{m|Fire Spin}}. Snivy dodges, but the two attacks hit Tepig before Snivy is struck by Heatmor's Fury Swipes and Emboar's {{m|Heat Crash}}. Snivy eventually manages to get back up and tries to get Tepig to battle along with Ash. Finally, Tepig decides to battle. Tepig uses {{m|Flame Charge}}, hitting both Heatmor and Emboar, but Shamus is not impressed. Both Emboar and Heatmor get back up and use {{m|Flare Blitz}} and Fire Spin, respectively. Emboar launches forward, enveloped in blue flame, and is boosted by the Fire Spin spiraling around him. Impressed by the technique, Cilan calls this the "Super Flare Blitz." Tepig is about to be hit by the powered-up attack, but Snivy pushes him out of the way and takes the blow, knocking her out. Ash thanks her and says that she deserves a good rest, but she wants to stay and watch her teammate battle.

Seeing everyone encouraging him, including Snivy, Tepig teems with the determination and begins to glow. Because of his friends love and support, Tepig [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pignite}}. Despite this, Shamus says that Pignite still has no chance of winning. Ash commands Pignite to use his new move, {{m|Fire Pledge}}. Pignite strikes the ground, sending a pillar of fire that engulfs both Emboar and Heatmor. Ash tells Pignite to finish with Flame Charge, knocking Shamus's Pokémon out and winning the battle for Ash. Everyone congratulates Pignite as he and Ash hug, with Snivy in Ash's arms. Given his victory, Cilan reaches the verdict that Ash was right. After [[recall]]ing his Pokémon, Shamus walks over to Pignite and apologizes for what he did. He asks Pignite to ditch Ash and come back to his team, which makes Pignite smile with excitement. Pignite stares at his former Trainer for a moment before using Flamethrower on him, charring him and turning his hair into an afro. Ash tells Shamus that Pignite is one of the gang and isn't going anywhere. Shamus immediately runs away saying he'll remember this. Everyone gathers around Pignite, celebrating his victory, evolution, and overcoming of his past. The group now resumes their journey towards [[Icirrus City]].

'''Lana's Primarina''' (Japanese: '''スイレンのアシレーヌ''' ''Suiren's Ashirene'') is {{an|Lana}}'s second known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It was often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]].

==History==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''===
[[File:Lana saving Popplio.png|250px|thumb|left|As a Popplio, being saved from Team Skull]]
Prior to its debut, Primarina, as a Popplio, was bullied by multiple {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s. Lana happened upon the scene and became furious at what was happening. As such, she attacked them with her {{p|Lapras}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}, freezing the group solid. She then used a fishing rod to pull it to safety. Lana then took Popplio to heal its wounds. Lana decided to personally feed and care for Popplio, as she did not want it to be afraid of humans in the future. Popplio quickly warmed up to her, and became her partner {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Primarina debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' as a Popplio alongside its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, fishing for [[wild Pokémon]]. Once {{Ash}} came to the [[Pokémon School]], it helped in welcoming him. Popplio later watched very concerned as Team Skull Grunts battled {{an|Kiawe}}.

In ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', Popplio and Lana welcomed Ash to the school by competing in a race against him and {{AP|Pikachu}}. The race began on the ground where Popplio quickly fell behind compared to Pikachu's speed. Once it reached the water section of the race, Popplio immediately caught up to Pikachu, swiftly moving through the water. Popplio finished first, receiving praise from Lana and the others watching.

In ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', Lana had Popplio train on its water balloon, hoping to increase its size. After a few tries, Popplio managed to make one multiple times its normal size, but was unable to retain it for long, resulting with it dousing Lana and Ash. The following day, Popplio helped Lana fish for {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Soon after, the Poké Ride Lapras were stolen by Team Rocket's hot air balloon. Pikachu succeeded in breaking them free, but everyone quickly noticed that they were positioned directly over spiked rocks. Popplio swam at high speeds towards the rocks and quickly made a giant water balloon that the Lapras fell on, bouncing them away from the rocks safely into the water. It then used its water balloon to counter [[Jessie's Mimikyu]]'s {{m|Shadow Ball}}, while Ash had his {{AP|Rowlet}} break the hot air balloon with {{m|Leafage}}.
[[File:Popplio annoyed with Rowlet.png|250px|thumb|As a Popplio, being annoyed with Rowlet's incompetence]]
In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Popplio was seen practicing on making its water balloon again, but floated away in one of its balloons along with Ash's Rowlet when the latter accidentally bumped into it. While the others looked for the duo, Rowlet accidentally popped the balloon, causing the duo to fall straight onto a radar that Team Rocket was constructing. Popplio distracted Team Rocket by using {{m|Bubble Beam}} to escape, but the two were soon confronted by {{MTR}} and [[James's Mareanie]]. A {{AP|Litten}} then appeared who saved the duo. Litten took Popplio and Rowlet to its home, where {{an|Stoutland}} advised it to take the two back to their Trainers. During their long search, the trio got caught by Team Rocket. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. Afterwards, Popplio and Rowlet were reunited with their Trainers.

[[File:Lana Popplio battling Totem Wishiwashi.png|250px|thumb|left|As a Popplio, battling the Totem Wishiwashi]]
In ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', Popplio assisted Lana in the [[island challenge|trial]] at [[Brooklet Hill]] by distracting a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Wishiwashi|School Form}} {{p|Wishiwashi}}, which Lana had hooked with her fishing rod. Although it was initially scared to battle the Small Fry Pokémon, it managed to overcome its fear after seeing Lana struggling to reel Wishiwashi in. As it started attacking Wishiwashi with Bubble Beam, Popplio soon got sent flying by an attack from an {{p|Alomomola}}, blasting it into a rock. After Pikachu had defeated Alomomola, Popplio attacked it with a newly learned {{m|Aqua Jet}}, defeating the Totem Pokémon and causing it to revert to multiple {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Wishiwashi|Solo Form}} Wishiwashi, which then made the Solo Form Wishiwashi that Lana healed earlier to hand over a [[Waterium Z]] to her.

After obtaining her Z-Crystal, Lana and Popplio had attempted to perform {{m|Hydro Vortex}}, as shown in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', but Popplio was unable to successfully perform the [[Z-Move]]. After witnessing [[Ida]] and her Brionne use Hydro Vortex, Lana requested Ida to train her and Popplio. Their training consisted of having Popplio attempt to burst Brionne's water balloons using its own. Despite failing initially, Popplio eventually succeeded after some hard training. Later, when the group got attacked by a wild {{p|Dhelmise}}, Lana and Popplio were able to successfully execute Hydro Vortex, which sent Dhelmise flying.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Popplio was used in a battle against {{an|Misty}}'s {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} alongside [[Mallow's Steenee]]. Steenee started the battle with {{m|Magical Leaf}} while Popplio quickly followed with Bubble Beam. Psyduck then counterattacked with {{m|Water Gun}}. Popplio then created a water balloon, absorbing the Water Gun, which it then launched at the Duck Pokémon, trapping it inside. Misty commanded Psyduck to use {{m|Confusion}}, but Psyduck didn't respond. Steenee then attacked with another Magical Leaf, breaking the balloon and causing Psyduck land on its head, giving it a headache. This allowed Psyduck to successfully use Confusion, but before it could do anything more to its opponents, Misty told Psyduck to put Popplio and Steenee down, saying that they had already had enough.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Popplio was among those used to fight {{an|Lusamine}}'s {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were under {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}'s control, to allow Ash to save Lusamine. Popplio knocked back Lilligant with Bubble Beam, but Lilligant then made it dance with {{m|Teeter Dance}}. Ash's Litten and Rowlet released it from the dance, and it rejoined the fight. In [[SM054|the next episode]], Lana and Popplio used Hydro Vortex on Mismagius. Although Mismagius appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', Popplio was used to help clear the mysterious black clouds that had appeared in Alola's skies. By combining its Z-Power alongside Ash's Pikachu, [[Kiawe's Marowak]], and [[Gladion's Lycanroc]], the [[Ultra Guardians]] powered a machine that managed to disperse the clouds.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Popplio joined the rest of Alola in showering {{an|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.
[[File:Lana Popplio and Ida Primarina.png|250px|thumb|As a Popplio, with Ida's Primarina]]
In ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', Popplio spotted the [[Sandy|Eevee]] that it had {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 6|befriended earlier}} being chased by Pershie and helped protect it. Soon after they were spotted by [[Rapp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Tupp]], who started fighting over Eevee. Lana and her classmates soon intervened, and during the ensuing {{pkmn|battle}}, Popplio ended up learning {{m|Surf}}, giving Eevee a platform it could use to jump down from and send the Team Skull Grunts blasting off with a powerful {{m|Double-Edge}}.

In ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', Lana and Popplio trained alongside Ida and her recently evolved {{p|Primarina}}. After Ida displayed Primarina's signature Z-Move, {{m|Oceanic Operetta}}, Lana became determined to impress her, and trained with Popplio for an entire night. The next morning, Lana showed the results of her training to Ida, which also resulted in Popplio evolving into {{p|Brionne}}. Before leaving, Ida gave Lana a [[Primarium Z]] so that she could one day use Oceanic Operetta as well.

In ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', while Ash and Lana were playing with Brionne's balloons in the sea, they were unexpectedly caught in a violent whirlpool that threw them onto a rocky reef. The cause of the whirlpool turned out to be a wild {{p|Kyogre}} that had been {{status|poison}}ed and was being chased by a {{OBP|hunter|SM120}} and [[Hunter's underlings|his underlings]]. Thanks to Ash and Lana's help, the hunter was defeated and Kyogre was cured of its poison. However, Kyogre was still angry, and Lana was dragged underwater by it. Brionne then evolved into {{p|Primarina}} and saved Lana from drowning. Seeing Kyogre's rage, Lana decided to calm it down by reeling it in and having Primarina sing to it. This plan succeeded, and Lana was able to properly greet the [[Legendary Pokémon]] she had longed to meet for a long time.
[[File:Lana Primarina vs Mallow Tsarenna.png|250px|thumb|left|Primarina battling Tsarenna in the Alola League]]
In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Lana used Primarina during her [[Manalo Conference]] battle against Mallow. Despite being at a type disadvantage against {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}}, Primarina held the upper hand throughout the whole battle, having even learned {{m|Icy Wind}} to deal with {{type|Grass}} opponents. When Tsareena performed {{m|Bloom Doom}}, Primarina countered it with Oceanic Operetta before defeating Tsareena with Aqua Jet, winning the battle without having taken a single hit and allowing Lana to advance to the second round.

In ''[[SM134|The Road to the Semifinals!]]'', Primarina went up against [[Guzma]]'s {{p|Golisopod}}. When the {{m|First Impression}} Lana was expecting didn't come, she tried to have Primarina use {{m|Sparkling Aria}}, only for Golisopod to use {{m|Throat Chop}} and disable the move. Afterwards, Golisopod struck Primarina with multiple super effective {{m|Poison Jab}}s, poisoning it in the process. Although Primarina eventually managed to pin Golisopod down with Icy Wind and use Oceanic Operetta, Golisopod countered by using {{m|Liquidation}} to cut through the Z-Move and defeat Primarina, eliminating Lana from the tournament. After the battle, Mallow had {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} use {{m|Aromatherapy}} on Primarina to heal its poison, before Lana took it to the [[Pokémon Center]].

In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', after a trio of {{p|Guzzlord}} invaded the Manalo Conference, Lana and Primarina combined their Z-Move with those of the other Trainers, knocking the second {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} back into Ultra Space.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Primarina participated in a welcome party for Ash and [[Goh]] during their visit to Alola.

In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Primarina attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Lana and Primarina.png|thumb|250px|Primarina and Lana]]
Primarina is a very happy and playful Pokémon, often seen playing and clapping in excitement. Initially afraid of people, Primarina quickly warms up to them thanks to Lana. However, despite being comfortable around humans, Primarina became afraid of [[Team Skull]], due to them bullying it, but overcame its fear in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]''. Primarina is very close with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, as it's seen being very joyful when praised by her and was often seen in her arms or on her head, as a Popplio. As shown in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Primarina is also a very responsible Pokémon, taking control as leader, when it and {{AP|Rowlet}} were separated from their Trainers, by carrying Rowlet and even fighting against {{TRT}}, even when the Rowlet's lax and sleepy behavior left it frustrated. In the same episode, it was also very apologetic after it and Rowlet crashed into Team Rocket's Secret Base and was even getting Rowlet to apologize until it realized who they were apologizing to.
[[File:Lana Primarina and Sandy.png|250px|left|thumb|Primarina and Sandy]]
Primarina tends to become jealous whenever another Pokémon was affectionate with Lana. In ''[[SM071|Dewpider Ascending!]]'', this jealousy was showcased when a {{p|Dewpider}} clung affectionately to Lana's leg. In ''[[SM098|Bright Lights, Big Changes!]]'', Lana revealed that Primarina likes to eat seaweed salad, while in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', it was shown to hate the taste of [[Poni Island]] radishes due to its spiciness. Primarina cares deeply for its friends, especially its best friend and teammate, [[Sandy]]. Primarina shows an interest in singing, as is typical with its species. This was first shown in ''[[SM056|Let Sleeping Pokémon Lie!]]'', where it took the lead with its Trainer in teaching [[Samson Oak|Samson]]'s {{p|Komala}} how to {{m|Sing}}. It later sang with [[Ida]]'s Primarina as part of its "training". After evolving into Brionne, its singing skills improved dramatically, as seen in ''[[SM110|Keeping Your Eyes on the Ball!]]'', and improved even further when it evolved into Primarina. After evolving into Primarina, it became strong enough to swim against raging ocean currents while carrying its Trainer on its back.

'''Lock-On''' (Japanese: '''ロックオン''' ''Lock-On'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
After the user has used Lock-On and until its effect ends (see table below), any accuracy check it makes against the same target will succeed; this means moves will not miss, even if the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Although this effect means moves will not "miss", they can still fail for other reasons (such as being {{m|Protect}}ed, or {{m|Fake Out}} being used outside the first turn) or be redirected by {{cat|move-drawing moves}} and {{cat|move-drawing Abilities|Abilities}}. The damaging turn of {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} counts as an accuracy check.

Lock-On will fail if the target is behind a {{m|Substitute}}.

|}
*: This move bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

===Generation II===
In this generation only, this effect is implemented as a status attached only to the target, so any Pokémon who attacks the target next (not just the user) will receive the benefit of this effect. Also, when a move is used, this effect is checked after the following conditions: if {{m|Dream Eater}} is used against a non-{{status|sleep}}ing target; if Protect or {{m|Detect}} is active; or if Dream Eater, {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, or {{m|Giga Drain}} are targeting a Pokémon with a {{m|substitute}}. Therefore, if a move fails in those cases, Lock-On's effect will remain in place.

In this generation only, this effect will not allow the moves {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Fissure}}, or {{m|Magnitude}} to hit a Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Fly}}; the move will miss and Lock-On's effect ends. ([[Type]] immunity is checked before Lock-On's effect, so this mainly applies to {{p|Mew}} or a non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon that calls Fly {{cat|moves that call other moves|indirectly}} or via {{m|Mimic}} or {{m|Sketch}}.)

===Generations III===
Only one Pokémon at a time can have the effect of Lock-On or {{m|Mind Reader}} applied to a given target. If another Pokémon uses one of these moves on the same target, the effect will be overwritten for the previous Pokémon and be associated with the new Pokémon instead.

Lock-On can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Octazooka}}, {{m|Superpower}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Tri Attack}}, and {{m|Zap Cannon}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

===Generations IV===
Like in Generation III, only one Pokémon at a time can have the effect of Lock-On or {{m|Mind Reader}} applied to a given target.

In this generation only, [[List of glitches (Generation IV)#Protection bypass glitch|due to a glitch]], if a move receives the effect of Lock-On while the target is under the effect of [[protection]], the move will ignore the protection with inverted accuracy. This does not apply to [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]].

Lock-On can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing a [[one-hit knockout move]] to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

===Generation V===
Starting in [[Generation V]], multiple Pokémon can have the effect of Lock-On or Mind Reader on the same target. Lock-On will not fail if another Pokémon has used Lock-On or Mind Reader on the same target; it will only fail if the user already has the effect active on its current target.

===Generation VII===
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Lock-On, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.

'''Professor Oak's Rotom''' (Japanese: '''オーキド博士のロトム''' ''Dr. Okido's Rotom'') is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught}} onscreen by {{an|Professor Oak}}. It was caught in the [[Decolore Islands]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Professor Oak and Rotom.png|thumb|left|250px|Rotom and Professor Oak]]
Professor Oak caught {{p|Rotom}} in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]'' at [[Torom Island]]. He came to meet {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to the [[Decolore Islands]] on Torom Island and told them that he wanted to catch himself a Rotom in order to study its forms. They went to a site where lots of old electrical machines were kept, luring in three Rotom. At first, Professor Oak's attempt to catch one failed. However, once he, Ash, and the latter's friends saved the Rotom from being captured by {{TRT}}, one of them freely decided to come with him, and allowed itself to be caught by him.

In ''[[BW130|Butterfree and Me!]]'', Rotom surprised Ash on the computer screen when he was contacting Professor Oak. Rotom was shown to be very affectionate towards him as it shocked him the first time it happened.

In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', Rotom suddenly popped down from the sky between [[Alexa]] and Professor Oak, scaring her. It was later seen being filmed by her.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when Ash contacted Professor Oak, Rotom showed up and attacked the latter. It also appeared in [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] at the end of each episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', helping Professor Oak with his explanation, and often laughing at him when he gets hurt.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', it was revealed that Rotom was present when Professor Oak taught [[Paul]] about Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
Rotom is a mischievous prankster. A running gag, somewhat similar to the one with {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Muk}}, is that it often likes to fill up the screen whenever it appears and laughs. Whenever Ash has phoned Professor Oak since its capture, Rotom will appear first on the monitor, often scaring him. This habit has also been shown during Professor Oak's Holo Caster, where the segment will always begin and conclude this way. Rotom also likes using {{m|Thunderbolt}} to shock Professor Oak and laughs afterwards, though it doesn't seem to be using the move's full power, and doesn't want to really hurt the Professor.
